Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot was descending from 10,000 feet msl, preparing to land on runway 21. He stated that he extended 10 degrees of flaps to slow the airplane down. The pilot said it was at this time that he would normally extend the landing gear. A checklist was available and used; however, he "failed to lower the landing gear." The gear warning horn sounded, but the pilot did not recognize the horn. During the wheels-up landing the airplane was substantially damaged.
