## Narrative

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

PILOT LANDING AT PRIVATE AIRPORT WITH THREE PASSENGERS ONBOARD NEGLECTED TO EXTEND LANDING GEAR BEFORE LANDING. PILOT STATED THAT HE PERCEIVED THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE WAS IN THE DOWN POSITION, THE GEAR EXTENDED WITH CORRECT INDICATIONS, BUT COULD NOT BE POSITIVE.

SUBSEQUENT LANDING SHOWED THE LANDING GEAR WAS STILL RETRACTED.

THE RUNWAY IS GRASS AND THE AIRFRAME RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE NOSE GEAR DOORS, ENGINE COWLING AND RIGHT FLAP.

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.
