Narrative:
I left durango, co, for a night flight to farmington, NM. The flight was under part 135 with cargo as a payload. Farmington tower instructed me to report a right base for runway 25. Upon reporting the right base, I was cleared to land #2 behind an small transport. The small transport was making a long, slow left base to final approach and I had to slow down the small aircraft by reducing manifold pressure, adding flaps, and executing shallow s-turn maneuvers to give the small transport time to clear the runway. Once clear, I made my approach to runway 25 and neglected to lower the landing gear, resulting in a 'gear up' landing. There was little damage and no injuries to myself, other than my pride.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: AIR TAXI CARGO PLT LANDS GEAR UP.
Narrative: I LEFT DURANGO, CO, FOR A NIGHT FLT TO FARMINGTON, NM. THE FLT WAS UNDER PART 135 WITH CARGO AS A PAYLOAD. FARMINGTON TWR INSTRUCTED ME TO RPT A R BASE FOR RWY 25. UPON RPTING THE R BASE, I WAS CLRED TO LAND #2 BEHIND AN SMT. THE SMT WAS MAKING A LONG, SLOW L BASE TO FINAL APCH AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN THE SMA BY REDUCING MANIFOLD PRESSURE, ADDING FLAPS, AND EXECUTING SHALLOW S-TURN MANEUVERS TO GIVE THE SMT TIME TO CLR THE RWY. ONCE CLR, I MADE MY APCH TO RWY 25 AND NEGLECTED TO LOWER THE LNDG GEAR, RESULTING IN A 'GEAR UP' LNDG. THERE WAS LITTLE DAMAGE AND NO INJURIES TO MYSELF, OTHER THAN MY PRIDE.
