Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Coalton, Ohio 45621
Monday, December 11, 2006 14:07 EST

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot reported that the left main landing gear failed to lock down for landing. He stated he was able to keep the airplane on the runway for a distance of approximately 150 feet, where the airplane then exited the right side of the runway. The pilot stated that the airplane's right wing struck a fence post, causing the outboard portion of the right wing to separate from the airplane, and the airplane came to rest on a westerly heading. After the accident, the airplane was moved to a hangar where it was resting on the extended left and right main landing gear and the nose landing gear. During a conversation with a Federal Aviation Administration inspector, the pilot stated that he did not extend the landing gear and landed gear-up.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot failed to follow the checklist and lower the landing gear. A factor in the accident was the fence post.
