What happened
During a mission focused on topographical surveying, an aircraft was executing its final approach to Jeddah Airport. Prior to this attempt, the crew had been forced to perform a go-around maneuver because another aircraft was occupying the runway.
While attempting a second approach to the airport, the crew failed to extend the landing gear. As a result, the aircraft struck the runway surface with its undercarriage retracted. The impact caused the plane to slide for several dozen meters along the runway before coming to a complete stop. Although the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss, there were zero fatalities or injuries reported among the crew.
Findings
Investigations into the incident concluded that the primary reason for the accident was that the landing gear was not lowered by the crew during the second approach to the runway.
