NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that, after entering the traffic pattern at the destination airport, the wind conditions felt stronger than reported by the automatic terminal information service. During his approach to land the pilot’s focus was on the wind conditions; he did not extend the landing gear and subsequently landed with them retracted. The airplane remained on the runway and 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.
