Investigation Docket - National Transportation Safety Board:
CN Aviation LLC
Location: Maricopa, AZ
Accident Number: WPR20CA184
Date & Time: 06/16/2020, 1255 MST
Registration:N117KP
Aircraft: Cessna P210
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Landing gear not configured
Injuries: 1 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal
The pilot reported that he elected to conduct a straight in approach to the runway. As the airplane descended the air became increasingly turbulent and windy. While on final approach he conducted his pre-landing check as the airplane was bouncing around. During short final, the pilot noted that he was often increasing and decreasing power to account for the windy conditions. As the airplane flared, he heard the gear horn, but it was too late to go-around. The airplane subsequently landed with the landing gear inadvertently retracted and slide to a stop on its belly. The airplane's lower fuselage was substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical anomalies with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
The pilot further reported that he omitted extending the landing gear, verifying for a green light or visually checking the mirrors.
