Probable cause
The NTSB’s determination of the probable cause, and any contributing factors.
The pilot's failure to put the landing gear down for landing.
Analysis
The pilot said that he changed his landing runway to 30 because the other runway had "no braking action on it." He forgot to put the landing gear down for the landing. The airplane's pressure bulkhead was compromised, which required a major repair.
