ReplyDeleteLanding gear were still stowed when the altitude reached zero.
ReplyDeleteHis/her insurance will skyrocket. Plus landing with gear-up causes a prop strike and sudden engine stop. So the engine will have to be pulled and torn down w/ IRAN. At least $15K for the engine alone before parts. Then a new prop another $15K. Antennas ripped off the bottom as well.
ReplyDeleteReading about gear-up landings over the years, I always wonder if these pilots were ever trained on GUMPS, or ever heard of it. It's hard to believe that pilots flying complex aircraft will inadvertently do a belly landing costing many thousands in damage.
ReplyDeleteListen ... I learned to fly in a little fixed-gear C150. On downwind I always said out loud (even to myself) GAS-UNDERCARRAIGE-MIXTURE-PROP-SEAT BELTS. And, later flying complex aircraft that habit paid off.
Sadly distraction and complacency make gear up so common the NTSB doesn't even bother. But still will result in a 709 ride and a record entry from the FAA. Some creative pilots even mix that in with a touch'n go like that twin did back a few years.
ReplyDelete...or that Pakistani A320 did recently.
DeleteCould have been a gear motor issue? Parts to repair are becoming very hard to find as well...
