Analysis
The pilot was making a refueling stop in Moultrie, GA when the aircraft touched down on runway 14 at spence field with the landing gear in the up position. The pilot does not recall what events led to the wheels up landing. On exiting the aircraft, he noted that all the wheels were out of the wells but not fully extended. He stated that inspection of the cockpit revealed the landing gear handle was down and the circuit breaker for the main landing gear motor was popped. A salvage crew raised the airplane and the gear came down and locked when the master switch was turned on and the circuit breaker reset.
