  1. Flight school/rental aircraft. Oops. Wonder if this was an instructional flight for multi-training. If so, the CFI is going to regret this - highly unlikely it was a gear failure like most GA gear up landings on NTSB reports.

  2. The DA42 has design issues with it landing gear.
    Refer to European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD No. 2019-0066, dated March 27, 2019, for more information. You may examine the EASA AD in the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-0602.
