## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED DURING LANDING HE WAS DISTRACTED BY THE PASSENGER AND FORGOT TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR. AIRCRAFT LANDED ON THE RUNWAY SURFACE AND CAME TO A STOP NEAR THE EDGE OF THE RUNWAY. DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS MINOR, LIMITED TO THE LOWER FUSELAGE AND PROPELLER. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED AT THE TIME.

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.
