(Only audio of the Mooney is coming in, then told to switch to tower.  That tower freq has no audio (that tower is for the crossing smaller runway) The main tower you'll here a pilot saying he told him his gear wasn't down, and at the very end, acknowledges.)

DENVER (KDVR) — A pilot is uninjured after landing off the runway without landing gear at the Centennial Airport on Thursday.

South Metro Fire Rescue reported the incident in a post on X just before 5 p.m. saying crews were responding to a reported aircraft emergency.  The Centennial Airport said it was alerted that a plane landed without landing gear beside Runway 35L at 4:44 p.m. A spokesperson for South Metro Fire Rescue told FOX31 that the airplane slid off the runway and ended up in the grass.  The airport said one person was inside the aircraft and was not injured.

SMFR said the aircraft was a single-engine Mooney 201.
