Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Salt Lake City, Utah 84116
Saturday, November 23, 2013 10:00 MST
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
The pilot reported that he was asked by air traffic control to enter a right base, crossing in front of a passenger jet on final approach to another runway. The pilot further stated that he accepted this option and did not feel rushed; however, in doing so, it interrupted him from his typical traffic pattern entry and checklist usage, which resulted in him not extending the landing gear. The airplane subsequently landed gear up which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
The pilot's failure to extend the landing gear before landing. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's improper use of the checklist.
