Incident Overview
A two-pilot crew experienced an incident during a visual approach when the landing gear was not extended prior to touchdown. According to the captain, the first officer was flying the aircraft at the time. The crew's attention was diverted to the gusty wind conditions prevailing during the approach.
Sequence of Events
While on final approach, the crew heard a scraping sound, which prompted them to realize that the landing gear had not been deployed. In response, the captain assumed control of the aircraft and executed an uneventful landing. No further details regarding the approach phase or the exact point at which the gear was extended were provided.
Post-Inspection
Following the incident, the landing gear system was inspected. The examination revealed no evidence of failure or malfunction, indicating that the system had been serviceable and that the gear non-extension was due to human oversight rather than a technical defect.
Conclusion
The incident highlights a lapse in cockpit discipline during a period of heightened workload due to gusty winds. Both pilots were able to recover the situation without damage or further consequences.
