Narrative:

I forgot to put the gear down! Of all people I fly jumpers (10000 hours worth) making 20 lndgs a day at times (with twin engine retractable gear). I have a gump check (3 times intentionally, 2 times automatically) on every landing. I can't believe it happened to me! I simply forgot to put the gear down. I did everything else in the gump check, but the gear! (I guess I need to learn to spell gump). I realized my mistake too late, reached for the gear lever but its locking device needs to be tripped first, so I reached for throttle too late. I was on (at an idle). I police myself more than most and I do a lot of test flying for people in one-of-a-kinds and homebuilt and ferrying jobs. I believe in procedures and checks, especially gump. Why I failed to put the gear down is unknown. Everything was normal, at home base, good WX, had 5 lifts that day (last one of day), no distraction.

Narrative: I FORGOT TO PUT THE GEAR DOWN! OF ALL PEOPLE I FLY JUMPERS (10000 HRS WORTH) MAKING 20 LNDGS A DAY AT TIMES (WITH TWIN ENG RETRACTABLE GEAR). I HAVE A GUMP CHK (3 TIMES INTENTIONALLY, 2 TIMES AUTOMATICALLY) ON EVERY LNDG. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAPPENED TO ME! I SIMPLY FORGOT TO PUT THE GEAR DOWN. I DID EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE GUMP CHK, BUT THE GEAR! (I GUESS I NEED TO LEARN TO SPELL GUMP). I REALIZED MY MISTAKE TOO LATE, REACHED FOR THE GEAR LEVER BUT ITS LOCKING DEVICE NEEDS TO BE TRIPPED FIRST, SO I REACHED FOR THROTTLE TOO LATE. I WAS ON (AT AN IDLE). I POLICE MYSELF MORE THAN MOST AND I DO A LOT OF TEST FLYING FOR PEOPLE IN ONE-OF-A-KINDS AND HOMEBUILT AND FERRYING JOBS. I BELIEVE IN PROCS AND CHKS, ESPECIALLY GUMP. WHY I FAILED TO PUT THE GEAR DOWN IS UNKNOWN. EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL, AT HOME BASE, GOOD WX, HAD 5 LIFTS THAT DAY (LAST ONE OF DAY), NO DISTR.
