Narrative:

Nov/mon/02, aircraft #1 received a clearance from socal approach to execute a localizer approach to runway 24 at fullerton. Fi ertpm asps WX reported wind 330 degrees at 3 KTS, ceiling 900 ft, visibility 2 mi. Tops, as observed by aircraft #1 pilot, were 2500 ft MSL. IMC over qewti, aircraft #1 announced position and intentions on CTAF while reconfiguring aircraft for landing. A threat aircraft #2, illegally flying in below VFR conditions, advised it was in the area. When below the overcast, aircraft #1 pilot observed WX to be 500 ft scattered to broken with 1 mi visibility. Aircraft #2 announcement of presence distraction aircraft #1 cockpit procedures, resulting in aircraft #1 landing gear up.

Title: BE36 PLT LANDED GEAR UP AFTER BEING DISTR WITH PLT FLYING IMC IN VFR FLT.

Narrative: NOV/MON/02, ACFT #1 RECEIVED A CLRNC FROM SOCAL APCH TO EXECUTE A LOC APCH TO RWY 24 AT FULLERTON. FI ERTPM ASPS WX RPTED WIND 330 DEGS AT 3 KTS, CEILING 900 FT, VISIBILITY 2 MI. TOPS, AS OBSERVED BY ACFT #1 PLT, WERE 2500 FT MSL. IMC OVER QEWTI, ACFT #1 ANNOUNCED POS AND INTENTIONS ON CTAF WHILE RECONFIGURING ACFT FOR LNDG. A THREAT ACFT #2, ILLEGALLY FLYING IN BELOW VFR CONDITIONS, ADVISED IT WAS IN THE AREA. WHEN BELOW THE OVCST, ACFT #1 PLT OBSERVED WX TO BE 500 FT SCATTERED TO BROKEN WITH 1 MI VISIBILITY. ACFT #2 ANNOUNCEMENT OF PRESENCE DISTR ACFT #1 COCKPIT PROCS, RESULTING IN ACFT #1 LNDG GEAR UP.
