## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT DEPARTED DEKALB MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (KDKB) AND FLEW AROUND THE TRAFFIC PATTERN AND LANDED WITH THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTED. THE FLAPS WERE ALSO IN THE UP POSITION ON LANDING. IT WAS NOTED DURING THE FUNCTIONAL CHECK OF THE LANDING GEAR AFTER THE INCIDENT THAT THE THROTTLE HAD TO BE PULLED HARD AGAINST THE IDLE STOP FOR THE GEAR WARNING HORN TO BE ACTIVATED.

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.
