## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WAS APPROACHING THE NEW IBERIA AIRPORT AFTER AN IFR FLIGHT FROM 2R0. APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES FROM KARA HE BROKE OUT OF THE CLOUDS AT 2600 FEET, DESCENDING TO 2000 FEET. HE WAS CLEARED FOR THE VISUAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 16 AT KARA. THE WINDS WERE FROM 150 DEGREES AT 16 GUSTING TO 23 KNOTS. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ STATED THAT HE REFRAINED FROM LOWERING THE GEAR WHEN HE PERFORMED THE GUMP CHECKLIST ABOUT SEVEN MILES OUT DUE TO THE WINDS. HE ELECTED TO LAND WITHOUT FLAPS DUE TO THE WINDS. HE STATED THAT HE HAD TO ADJUST THE POWER IN LARGE ENOUGH INCREMENTS THAT THE GEAR HORN WAS SILENCED INTERMITTENTLY. HE NOTICED THE GEAR HORN SOUND IN THE FLARE, TOO LATE TO AVOID THE GEAR UP LANDING.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
