What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot stated: I was single pilot flying Monday 7,2024 returning to Mesquite.
Received cleared to land on rw 36, did my gump, gas (on) and verified undercarriage (down) did not verify, made #2 radio change, monitoring speed and flaps and descent monitor.
I did not follow my routine of following gear down leaver and confirm light on. When I touched down it was rough on left wheel like a bad tire then when it slid to a stop. I realized the gear was not down! I did not hear a warning that would have been on, if gear was not down.
