## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS APPROACHING DENVER AT NIGHT.  FAIRLY NEW TO THE AIRCRAFT (4 WEEKS).  PILOT FELT A LITTLE RUSHED BY ATC AND SIMPLY FORGOT TO LOWER LANDING GEAR.  LANDING GEAR HORN WORKING BUT AIRCRAFT IS EXTREMELY LOUD AND PILOT REPORTED HE COULD NOT HEAR THE HORN.  RESULT WAS A GEAR UP LANDING.

MINOR DAMAGE.  SOME SKIN, FLAP, AND GEAR DOOR DAMAGE.

PILOT FILED ASAP REPORT WITH HIS AIR CARRIER AND THIS WAS ACCEPTED.  NATIONAL ASAP MANAGER CALLED ME TO CONFIRM ACCEPTANCE INTO THE PROGRAM.

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.
