What happened
During a positioning flight originating from Porlamar, an aircraft arrived at Oranjestad-Reina Beatrix Airport and experienced a landing gear malfunction. The aircraft touched down with its undercarriage retracted, causing it to slide along the runway on its belly for several dozen meters before the movement ceased.
Despite the impact, there were zero fatalities and zero injuries reported among the crew. The two pilots on board were able to evacuate the aircraft safely following the incident.
Findings
The aircraft sustained damage that was determined to be beyond repair. The primary factor in the incident was the failure of the landing gear to extend prior to touchdown.
