What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On approach to runway 36 at kgph, the pilot stated he selected gear down and reported observing three green gear down indicator lights. The landing gear failed to extend prior to touchdown, and the aircraft landed with the gear retracted. Post incident investigation found the gear operated normally in the down sequence through four complete cycles. Investigation revealed the emergency extension override lever was engaged which would prevent the landing gear from automatically extending below a minimum airspeed if the pilot failed to extend the landing gear.
