## Narrative

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

PILOT ADMITTED THAT HE SIMPLY FORGOT TO EXTEND THE GEAR BEFORE LANDING.  HE SAID THAT IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT AND ALTHOUGH IT WAS SLIGHTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT, HE DID NOT FEEL FATIGUE WAS A FACTOR.  WHEN QUESTIONED, HE WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH THE WARNING INDICATIONS THAT THE GEAR WAS NOT DOWN AND LOCKED FOR LANDING.
