## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS RUNNING HIS AIRCRAFT ON THE GROUND WHEN HE DECIDED TO TAKEOFF FOR ONE LAP AROUND THE PATTERN. UPON LANDING THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN WITH THE GEAR RETRACTED. PILOT STATED THERE WAS A BACKGROUND SQUEAL COMING THROUGH HIS RADIOS THAT MAY HAVE DISTRACTED HIM DURING THE LANDING. THE PILOT ALSO STATED HE PLACED THE GEAR HANDLE TO THE DOWN POSITION BUT NEVER VERIFIED 3 GREEN AND CAN'T REMEMBER IF HE USED THE CHECKLIST.
