What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
While conducting takeoffs and landings, the pilot was making his first approach for landing utilizing a non-standard approach procedure he saw on a video. During the interview the pilot admitted he did not use the aircraft before landing checklist and that he forgot to put the landing gear down. He also noted he did not hear the gear warning horn when power was reduced. The aircraft landed with the landing gear retracted and came to rest on the runway. Minor damage was observed to the propeller and skin on the forward belly.
Post-incident functional checks indicated no defects found with the landing gear system.
