23 Nov 2013: NEW PIPER PA46 350P 350P — Unknown operator

No fatalities • Salt Lake City, UT, United States

Probable cause

The pilot's failure to extend the landing gear before landing. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's improper use of the checklist.

— NTSB Determination

Accident narrative

The pilot reported that he was asked by air traffic control to enter a right base, crossing in front of a passenger jet on final approach to another runway. The pilot further stated that he accepted this option and did not feel rushed; however, in doing so, it interrupted him from his typical traffic pattern entry and checklist usage, which resulted in him not extending the landing gear. The airplane subsequently landed gear up which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
