What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot was flying back to bolton field (ktzr) after an annual inspection was performed on his aircraft. When he was nearing the touchdown point, someone yelled over the UNICOM airport frequency "aircraft landing perform a go-around". The pilot performed a go-around and found that his right main landing gear was not fully extended when the nose and left main landing gear were locked. The pilot made several attempts by extending and retracting the landing gear to get the right main to fully extend, to no avail. The pilot decided to make a gear up landing on runway 4. The pilot made a successful gear up landing with minor damage to the bottom of the aircraft. The propeller was turning slowly and made contact with the ground bending the 2 tips approximately 3" inches each. The pilot was the sole occupant with no injuries.
