What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot stated that the gear down indication on the accident aircraft type is different than on the aircraft type he has the most experience in. His turbo 210 has a single green gear down light. Upon final before landing check, he thought the Bellanca's single green flap down light was the gear down light. He said he was complacent, and just forgot to lower the gear, and that it was completely his fault.
