NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
During a proficiency flt check, the aircrew was making a N0-flap landing. After completing the landing checklist down to the landing gear, power was reduced causing the landing gear audible warning to sound. The horn silence switch was depressed & the apch was continued. Due to the low power that was required for the no-flap apch, the throttle was never advanced sufficiently to reset the warning horn. Subsequently, the acft was landed with the gear retracted. After sliding to a stop, a small electrical fire erupted in the belly of the acft, but arpt personnel quickly extinguished it. The plt being checked said he was distracted by a conversation concerning eng fire procedures. Also, he thought the check plt had called that the landing check was complete. The check plt stated that he had called only the no-flap checklist complete with the before landing checklist complete down to the landing gear. The proficiency flt was begun on a short notice when another check plt could not be found.
