The pilot and co-pilot took-off from Dakar in Senegal on a positioning flight with the intention of landing at Conakry International Airport in Guinea. During approach to Runway 06 at Conakry the landing gear did not extend. The landing gear circuit breaker was found to have popped. The circuit breaker was reset and it popped immediately again. The crew then performed the emergency extension procedure which was unsuccessful. The crew then flew past the tower in order for ATC to verify the landing gear position. After further troubleshooting and reducing fuel load they landed with the landing gear retracted on runway 06. During the wheels-up landing the propellers, belly and flaps sustained damage. The occupants onboard were not injured.
