## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED HE FELT AND HEARD THE GEAR GO INTO THE POSTION.  A GEAR EXTENSION/RETRACTION WAS DONE JUST BEFORE THE FLIGHT WITH NO ABNORMALITIES.  AFTER THE GEAR UP LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT WAS PLACED ON JACKS AND ANOTHER GEAR EXTENSION/RETRACTION INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED AND AGAIN WITHOUT ABNORMALITIES.  INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE NAV LIGHT IN THE ON POSITION DIMS THE GEAR DOWN LIGHT.  THE GEAR UP HORN WORKED AS DESCRIBED IN THE AIRCRAFT MANUAL.  UPON INSPECTION,  THE FLAPS SHOWED NO INDICATION THAT THEY WERE DOWN AT THE TIME IF GROUND CONTACT.

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.
