## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- In flight collision with terrain/water, landing - flare/touchdown
  - gear extension - delayed, pilot in command (cause)
  - gear down and locked - not attained, pilot in command (cause)
  - wheels up landing - inadvertent, pilot in command (contributing factor)

## Analysis

THE ACFT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED DURING LANDING. THE NOSE GEAR NEVER CAME DOWN. THE PILOT STATED THE APPROACH WAS LONG AND FLAT. THE 'STALL WARNING BEEPED A COUPLE TIMES. ON FLARE HORN CAME ON.' THE LANDING GEAR WAS TESTED FOR EXTENSION/RETRACTION WITH NO DISCREPENCIES NOTED. THE PILOT ADMITTED HE MAY HAVE LOWERED THE GEAR TOO LATE FOR A SAFE LANDING.
