What happened
During an approach to Paramaribo-Zorg en Hoop Airport, the flight crew performed a landing while the landing gear remained in the retracted position. The resulting wheels-up impact caused significant structural damage to the aircraft, rendering it a total loss.
Despite the severity of the impact, there were no injuries reported among the two occupants on board. The incident resulted in the aircraft being declared damaged beyond repair.
Findings
- The landing was completed with the gear up.
- The primary cause of the damage was the failure to extend the landing gear prior to touchdown.
