## Narrative

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

ON NOVEMBER 19, 2025, AT 13:39 CST, THE PILOT OF A SMALL PIPER AIRPLANE FAILED TO DEPLOY THE LANDING GEAR WHILE LANDING AT A LOCAL REGIONAL AIRPORT. THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDED DOWN THE RUNWAY FOR ABOUT 900 FEET, STOPPING AT THE 1000-FOOT AIMING  POINT MARKING. THE PILOT AND ONE PASSENGER WERE THE ONLY OCCUPANTS ON BOARD AND EXITED THE AIRPLANE UNHARMED.

THE PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS DOING SOME PATTERN WORK. HE PRACTICED A COUPLE “TOUCH-AND-GO” MANEUVERS AND THEN DECIDED TO ATTEMPT A SHORT FIELD LANDING. THE PILOT RECALLS HEARING THE GEAR HORN SOUNDING AS THE AIRCRAFT SLOWED DOWN WHILE APPROACHING THE RUNWAY AND DECIDING TO INCREASE ENGINE POWER JUST ENOUGH TO SILENCE THE HORN. BY THE TIME HE REALIZED THE GEAR WAS STILL UP, THE FLAPS OF THE AIRCRAFT WERE ALREADY STRIKING THE ASPHALT OF THE RUNWAY.

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.
