Belly Landing at Stuttgart-Echterdingen Airport (N447AB)

Incident Overview During an approach to Stuttgart-Echterdingen Airport, the pilot apparently failed to lower the landing gear. The aircraft subsequently made a belly landing, with the undercarriage only partially extended at the time of touchdown. The pilot attempted to lower the gear just before landing, but the aircraft struck the runway on its fuselage. It slid for a few dozen meters before coming to a stop. The pilot was uninjured, and the aircraft sustained damage beyond repair. No other injuries or specific aircraft details were provided in the source material. This incident highlights the critical importance of pre-landing checklists and gear configuration verification during the final approach phase.
