## Narrative

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

PILOT AND PASSENGER DEPARTED MANASSAS (HEF) ON A PERSONAL/PLEASURE FLIGHT IN A CESSNA 337.  THEY FLEW TO CULPEPER (CJR) WHERE THEY MADE TWO APPROACHES AND LANDINGS, CYCLING THE LANDING GEAR EACH TIME.  THEY DEPARTED CULPEPER AND FLEW TO WARRENTON-FAUQUIER AIRPORT AND MADE ONE APPROACH.  PILOT AND PASSENGER CONFIRMED LANDING GEAR HANDLE WAS PLACED IN THE DOWN POSITION BUT NEITHER PERSON VERIFIED THE LANDING GEAR IN THE MIRROR ON THE WING STRUT.  PILOT MADE THE FINAL APPROACH AND FLARED AS NORMAL.  GEAR ON AIRCRAFT WAS NOT DOWN AND THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON ITS UNDERCARRIAGE.  AIRPLANE CAME TO REST RIGHT OF THE CENTER LINE ON RUNWAY 33.  PILOT AND PASSENGER WERE ABLE TO EXIT THE AIRPLANE WITH NO INJURIES.  AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND BOTH PROPELLERS.

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.
