What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot confirmed that he had done the procedure to lower the landing gear for landing, however, he had failed to confirm that the mechanical lock pin control was in the full left limit or "lock" position. Subsequently, upon touchdown the landing gear slowly retracted and the aircraft slid on its belly approximately 800 feet down the runway before coming to rest.
