What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
I departed falcon field, at approximately 12:45 for the short flight to AK chin (A39) to fuel my airplane. I climbed to 3,500 feet and the air became turbulent. AWOS reported winds 260/8. I chose a direct approach to runway 22 at A39. I announced my intentions on CTAF. No other traffic was in the area at the time. I began my descent and the air became more turbulent and the winds were shifting. As I set up for the final to runway 22 I conducted my gumps check as I was bouncing through the air. I later would learn I had omitted dropping the gear, verifying the green light and checking the mirrors. On final I experienced gusts that forced me to add and decrease manifold pressure often. As I started the flare for landing I heard the gear horn but it was too late to go around. After the airplane came to a stop I exited with no injuries. I was met by the airport manager.
