| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The aircraft was on an instrument rating training flight with a student pilot in the left seat, an instructor in the right seat, and another student observing from the rear. Following a series of instrument approaches and go-arounds, the student flew an asymmetric approach and go-around, followed by a visual circuit to land.
The landing gear was not selected down during the visual circuit, and the flaps were not selected beyond 15 degrees (the operator had not established formal Standard Operating Procedures, but students were taught to select full flap once below asymmetric committal height). The flare resulted in a prolonged float, and the aircraft touched down on its underside approximately 800 metres beyond the threshold.
G-BODX was presumably written off (damaged beyond repair) as the registration was cancelled on 22.10.2009 as "Permanently withdrawn from use".
