ATX PLT ON A REPOSITIONING FLT OF AN AMPHIBIOUS C206 FORGOT TO LOWER THE LNDG GEAR FOR A LNDG ON PAVED RWY DUE TO PERSONAL DISTR.

Narrative

THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED APPROX 16 HRS PRIOR TO A SIGNIFICANT FAMILY EVENT. THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS EVENT HAD COME TO BEAR ON ME WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS. THIS MORNING (DAY OF INCIDENT) THE THOUGHT OCCURRED TO ME THAT IT MIGHT BE BETTER IF I TOOK TODAY AND TOMORROW OFF FROM FLYING; BUT I DID NOT HEED THE WARNING OF APPREHENSION; WHICH I NOW KNOW I SHOULD HAVE DONE. ON MY 8TH LNDG OF THE DAY; I FAILED TO FULLY CHK THAT THE LNDG GEAR DOWN AND LOCKED LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE OVERSIGHT RESULTED IN A GEAR UP LNDG. I BELIEVE THAT PERIODS OF TIME IN AN AVIATOR'S LIFE THAT SURROUND SIGNIFICANT LIFE EVENTS; OR TIMES WHEN AN AVIATOR KNOWS THAT THEIR NORMAL STRESS LEVELS ARE BEING EXCEEDED SHOULD SIGNAL TO THEM A NEED TO VOLUNTARILY EXCLUDE COCKPIT DUTIES UNTIL THE UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE PASSED. I KNOW THAT A PROFESSIONAL AVIATOR IS AN AVIATOR WHO IS CONTINUALLY LEARNING. I HAVE CERTAINLY LEARNED FROM THIS INCIDENT TO HEED; WITHOUT QUESTION; ANY APPREHENSION I MAY HAVE ABOUT MY ABILITY TO PERFORM MY DUTIES AS AN AVIATOR TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF MY ABILITIES.
