## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH THE LANDING GEAR IN THE UP-POSITION AT THE MINDEN-TAHOE AIRPORT. PER THE PILOT'S WRITTEN STATEMENT, HE WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE THE 3 LANDING INDICATOR LIGHTS VERY WELL BECAUSE THEY DIMMED. THE PILOT INDICATED IN THE WRITTEN STATEMENT THAT HE HEARD THE GEAR WARNING HORN BUT THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE STALL WARNING HORN.

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.
