What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On November 26, 2019 at 16:15 a pilot landed his Piper PA-24 airplane on runway 23 at Salisbury, MD (sby) with his landing gear up. The pilot said he became distracted on down wind while ATC was issuing instructions to a piedmont flight that was waiting to depart on the crossing runway. He said that not being able to report on the down wind took him out of his usual sequence for lowering the landing rear. After landing with the wheels up he noticed that the gear handle was in the neutral position not the down position.
