## Narrative

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

ON 12/04/2019, WHILE FLYING VFR FROM KARW TO KCAE LATE IN THE AFTERNOON (THE 34-MINUTE FLIGHT WAS BETWEEN 4:30 AND 5 PM), I FAILED TO UP THE GEAR DOWN ON MY CESSNA 310 K. I DIDN?T HEAR A GEAR WARNING AUDIO ENUNCIATOR DURING APPROACH TO RUNWAY 29. THE WIND WAS ABOUT 12 KNOTS ALMOST STRAIGHT DOWN THE RUNWAY. THE SKY WAS CLEAR. I WAS THE PILOT IN COMMAND AND THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS. THE LANDING WAS CENTERLINE AND THE PLANE SKIDDED TO A STOP. THE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRPORT FACILITIES AND I WAS NOT INJURED.

^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
