ON 3/5/2016 AT 21:20Z A BEECH BONANZA, N6600L, LANDED GEAR UP ON RUNWAY 5 AT LAURENCE G. HANSCOM FIELD (BED).  THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ABOUT 1000 FEET DOWN THE RUNWAY WITH NO INJURIES TO PILOT OR PASSENGERS ON BOARD.

THE PILOT STATED THAT HE PICKED UP THE ATIS FOR BEDFORD AND MADE HIS INITIAL CONTACT TO BED TOWER ABOUT 8 NM MILES FROM THE AIRPORT.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS GIVEN INSTRUCTION TO JOIN THE LEFT DOWNWIND FOR RUNWAY 29 AT BED.  SEVERAL MINUTES LATER BED TOWER CONTACTED THE PILOT AND ASKED HIM IF HE COULD ACCEPT A LANDING TO RUNWAY 5 TO LAND AND HOLD SHORT OF RUNWAY 29.  THE PILOT ACCEPTED THE CLEARANCE AND JOINED A LEFT BASE FOR RUNWAY 5 AT BED.

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.
