| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The airplane was substantially damaged after it made a gear-up landing at Siglufjördur Airport (SIJ) during a training flight.
The aircraft was transported to Reykjavik by boat. In November 2004 it was re-registered TF-ADD for Landsflug, but was ultimately assessed as damaged beyond repair.
The points considered to be the most likely causes of the accident are:
• The landing gear was not lowered.
• Checklists were not used after the first landing.
• The ground proximity warning system was disconnected by the crew.
• The pilot took control of the aircraft unsure of how the next approach should be carried out.
• Since the traffic pattern was flown to the east (i.e., towards the mountains rather than over the fjord), there was little room due to the confined space.
