## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT HAD LANDED AT HAMMOND MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (KHDC) ON RUNWAY 18 WITH THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTED. THERE WAS 1 PERSON ON BOARD WITH HIS DOG AND NO REPORTED INJURIES.  PRIMARY DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT UNDERSIDE AND PROPELLER WAS SIGNIFICANT BUT CATEGORIZED AS MINOR.  THE PILOT PROVIDED A STATEMENT VIA EMAIL WHERE HE MENTIONED THAT HE THOUGHT HIS GEAR WAS EXTENDED PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN BUT REALIZED OTHERWISE AFTER COMING TO A STOP.  THE AIRCRAFT RECOVERY TEAM REPORTED THAT ONCE THE AIRCRAFT WAS LIFTED BY A CRANE THE LANDING GEAR EXTENDED AND LOCKED NORMALLY, THEN WAS TOWED TO PARKING.  A REVIEW OF THE AIRCRAFT RECORDS REVEALED THAT IT WAS WITHIN THE REQUIRED 12 AND 24 MONTH INSPECTIONS.  A REVIEW OF THE PILOT'S AIRMAN RECORDS REVEALED THAT HE HAD UNDERGONE A FLIGHT REVIEW THE DAY PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT.

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.
