## Narrative

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

THE PIC (PILOT #1) ALLOWED HIS PASSENGER (PILOT #2), WHO DOES NOT POSSESS COMPLEX OR HIGH PERFORMANCE ENDORSEMENTS TO OPERATE HIS AIRCRAFT FOR THE PURPOSE OF ACQUIRING EXPERIENCE AND AIRCRAFT SPECIFIC FAMILIARITY PRIOR TO SCHEDULED TRAINING WITH A CFI. THE PIC REMAINED IN THE LEFT SEAT AND PERMITTED PILOT #2 TO OPERATE THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE RIGHT SEAT AND MANAGE ALL AIRCRAFT CONTROLS. PILOT #2 FORGOT TO EXTEND THE GEAR AND THE PIC FAILED TO NOTICE THE ERROR. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED GEAR UP AND SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE AIRFRAME AND 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.
