During the approach for runway 21, the pilot reduced airspeed below 130 kt and selected the landing gear down. The pilot sensed the landing gear extending and observed a further reduction in airspeed due to increased drag.
The pilot reduced the airspeed further and selected full flaps for landing. Witnesses on the ground noticed that the landing gear was only partially (halfway) extended. The pilot was unaware that the landing gear was not fully extended.
The pilot normally performed a final GUMPS check (Gasoline, Undercarriage, Mixture, Propeller, Switches) before landing. Contrary to his normal operating procedure, the pilot missed checking the landing gear indicators.
Upon touchdown, the landing gear collapsed, and the aircraft skidded approximately 50 metres on the ground before coming to a stop. After removing his Active Noise Reduction (ANR) headset, the pilot noticed the “landing gear not down” aural alert.
The serious incident occurred in daylight under Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC).
