## Narrative

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

THE PIC CALLED MLB TOWER AND REQUESTED LANDING CLEARANCE AND WAS ASSIGNED RUNWAY 23 FOR LANDING.  AS HE WAS APROACHING BASE FOR RUNWAY 23, HIS LANDING CLEARANCE WAS CHANGED TO RUNWAY 27L.  HE STATED THAT WHILE ON FINAL HE HEARD THE LANDING GEAR HORN BUT DECIDED TO APPLY MORE POWER TO SILENCE IT.  THE PIC NEVER EXTENDED THE GEAR AND LANDED GEAR UP CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRPLANE.

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.
