Beech 76 Duchess, G-BODX
Summary:
皇冠体育app 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. 皇冠体育app landing gear was not selected down during an asymmetric circuit, and the flaps were not selected beyond 15掳. 皇冠体育app flare resulted in a prolonged 鈥榝loat鈥�, and the aircraft touched down on its underside approximately 800 metres beyond the threshold. 皇冠体育app instructor attributed the accident to 鈥渋nstructor error鈥�, and stated that contributory factors included the student鈥檚 diligence during the previous approaches, and the fact that it was the last landing of the last flight of the day. He stated that the landing gear warning horn had not sounded. 皇冠体育app accident may have been avoided if the landing gear had been selected down, or the landing checklist had been completed correctly. If full flap had been deployed for landing, it is probable that the landing gear warning horn would have sounded to alert the crew to their error.
