The float-equipped Air Tractor AT-802 landed on the runway Portorož Airport on floats, with the landing gear retracted. The pilot did not lower the wheels due to fatigue, which is a normal risk of this type of aircraft. Procedural flying and the use of checklists would significantly improve the reduction of this risk.
