He was subsequently instructed to extend his downwind leg to follow landing traffic, at which point he retracted the landing gear. He forgot to re-extend the landing gear before touchdown, and the airplane came to rest on the runway. The pilot stated that he was distracted by the extended downwind, multiple landing gear configuration changes, and the instruction to follow traffic. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the lower fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N215MB](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N215MB), registered now, S/N TH-2133 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: RAYTHEON AIRCRAFT COMPANY G58 - Registry model: [Raytheon G58](https://openairdocs.org/model/raytheon-g58) (registry code 7150060) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: TH-2133 - Airframe hours: 2491 - Engines: Continental IO-550-C 300 horsepower reciprocating; Continental IO-550-C 300 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Positioning, Part 91 - Operator: Doupe Services, LLC, doing business as Curtis Air Taxi - Registered owner: Jt1 LLC - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, November 18, 2024, 61 hours before - Departed: TEB, Teterboro, NJ - Destination: Same as departure - Flight plan: Company VFR - Airport: JPX, East Hampton Town, runway 28, 4,255 × 100 ft, asphalt - Equipment: Electronic primary flight display, Electronic multifunction display, Auto-pilot, ADS-B, Stall warning system, Onboard weather ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
