| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The aircraft landed without its landing gear being extended. The landing gear warning horn was found to be unserviceable after the accident. However, while it could not be determined when it failed, it was not tested prior to the flight, as prescribed in the operators’ Normal Procedures checklist. In addition, the Normal Procedures checklist was not used
during the flight. Had it been, the pilot may have noticed the landing gear was not down, despite the warning horn not being serviceable.
