## Narrative

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

WHILE LANDING AT CFE, PILOT LANDED WITH THE GEAR NOT EXTENDED.  ACCORDING TO STATEMENT FROM THE PILOT, HE DID NOT REMEMBER EXTENDING THE LANDING GEAR.  THE AIRCRAFT DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO THE PROPELLER AND MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FUSELAGE.

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.
