## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED HE WAS OPERATING OFF OF MEMORY AND NOT FOLLOWING A CHECK-LIST. SAID HE PULLED THE GEAR SELECTOR TO UNLOCK IT AND PUT THE GEAR DOWN, BUT DID NOT VISUALLY VERIFY THAT IT WAS IN THE LOCKED POSITION OR THAT HE HAD THREE GREEN GEAR INDICATION LIGHTS. STATED HE COULD NOT HEAR THE AURAL WARNING DUE TO HIS NOISE CANCELING HEADSET. HE SAW THE RED GEAR UNSAFE LIGHT BUT EXTINGUSHED IT INSTINCTIVELY AS IT WAS HABITUAL IN THIS REDUCED POWER CONDITION. FAILED TO NOTICE UNMUTABLE GEAR WARNING WHEN FLAPS CONFIGURED AT 10 DEGREES BECAUSE HIS ATTENTION WAS OVERLY DEVOTED TO INSTRUCTION OF THE STUDENT. PERFORMED A SHORT FINAL CHECK WITHOUT VISUALLY VERIFYING CONDITIONS. LANDED AIRCRAFT WITH GEAR IN THE UP POSITION. AIRCRAFT LANDED ON RUNWAY 19L WITH RETRACTED GEAR.

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.
