## Narrative

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

THE PIC WAS PRACTICING TOUCH AND GOES IN THE PATTERN WITH A FELLOW PILOT. HE HAD ALREADY DONE SEVERAL LANDINGS. WHILE HE WAS SETTING UP FOR THE LAST LANDING, AT THE POINT WHERE HE WOULD PUT THE GEAR DOWN, THEY GOT

DISTRACTED BY THE ABSENCE OF THE GEAR HORN AS THEY BROUGHT THE POWER BACK. THE PILOT STATED HE REALIZED HE DID NOT HAVE A GOOD PROCEDURE REGARDING CHECKLISTS FOR HIS GENERAL AVIATION FLYING AS WAS THE CASE WHEN

HE FLEW WITH THE AIRLINES. THE PILOT DID NOT GO BACK AND CONFIRM THE GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED PRIOR TO LANDING AND AS A RESULT, LANDED GEAR UP.

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.
