The NTSB's narrative final · quoted from the NTSB record
The pilot reported that while in the airport traffic pattern, he initially extended the landing gear. He was subsequently instructed to extend his downwind leg to follow landing traffic, at which point he retracted the landing gear. He forgot to re-extend the landing gear before touchdown, and the airplane came to rest on the runway. The pilot stated that he was distracted by the extended downwind, multiple landing gear configuration changes, and the instruction to follow traffic. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the lower fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

About this page
Everything above comes from the NTSB's public accident database: the narrative, probable cause and findings are the NTSB's own words, and the coded tables behind its report (pilot, aircraft, flight, weather, injuries, sequence of events) are written out in plain English. Pilots' ages, home towns and medical details are left out on purpose. The documents and photographs are the NTSB's docket, the folder of records gathered during the investigation, shown as the NTSB released them (the NTSB redacts some personal details first) and listed under the NTSB's own titles. This site's own text never names pilots, passengers or anyone else involved. A preliminary report describes what is known soon after the event and can change; the final report, with the probable cause, usually follows one to two years later and this page is refreshed when it does. Case number ERA25LA262.
