## Narrative

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

THE MISHAP PILOT DEPARTED FROM LZZ AND FLEW TO TFP WHERE HE PERFORMED ONE TOUCH-AND-GO LANDING.  FROM TFP HE FLEW TO RAS WHERE HE WAS SETTING UP AN APPROACH TO RUNWAY 12.  WHILE RUNNING HIS PRE-LANDING CHECKLIST, HE HEARD ANOTHER AIRCRAFT RADIO CALL THAT THEY WERE LANDING ON RUNWAY 30.  THE MISHAP PILOT ELECTED TO SWITCH TO RUNWAY 30 AND RESUMED HIS CHECKLIST IN THE WRONG SPOT, FAILING TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR DURING THE FINAL APPROACH.  HE NOTICED THAT HE WAS UNUSUALLY LOW DURING THE FINAL STAGE OF THE LANDING AND CONTACTED THE RUNWAY MOMENTS LATER.

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.
