Introduction
On a training flight at Iqaluit, Nunavut (CYFB), an Air Nunavut Beech 200 Super King Air, operating as flight 200, landed with its landing gear in the up position. The aircraft was conducting a visual flight rules (VFR) circuit to simulate a flapless landing as part of a captain upgrade for a candidate.
Flight Details
During the circuit, the crew experienced an actual communication failure on COM 1 while two other aircraft were inbound to Iqaluit. At the end of the downwind leg, a flap failure was simulated. The crew carried out the appropriate checklist for the flap failure but did not complete the landing checklist.
Events
The aircraft landed on runway 16 with the landing gear retracted. It skidded on its belly and came to a stop on the runway between taxiway A and taxiway G. The crew declared an emergency and evacuated the airplane. No injuries were reported.
Aftermath
The aircraft sustained damage to the belly pod and both propellers.
