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 the landing phase of operation, the propeller struck the runway several times prior to the acft making a gear up ldg. After the acft came to a stop, a post flight fire erupted destroying the acft. Evidence of gear up landing was confirmed after post flight inspection of the damage incurred to the gear doors and landing gear assembly.
