## Narrative

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

UPON APPROACH TO LANDING AT LAREDO AIRPORT LAREDO TEXAS, PILOT DID NOT VERIFY GEAR LANDING LIGHT WAS ON AND GEAR INDICATOR NEEDLE TO DOWN POSITION. PILOT CONTINUED WITH LANDING AND DID NOT BECOME AWARE GEAR WAS NOT DOWN AND LOCKED UNTIL PROPELLER MADE CONTACT WITH PAVEMENT.

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.
