N1925Q – Cessna 177RG – 2008-04-08 NTSB Accident Report

On April 08, 2008, a Cessna 177RG (N1925Q) was involved in an incident near Redding, CA. All 2 people aboard were uninjured. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.

The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this incident to be: The failure of the pilot under instruction to lower the landing gear, the failure of both pilots to follow the landing checklist, and the flight instructor's inadequate supervision of the flight.

The fight instructor reported that on the first landing the pilot-rated student failed to extend the landing gear. The instructor further reported that he didn't notice that the landing gear was in the UP position on approach to landing, and that the pilot-rated student had set the manifold pressure at 15 inches; the landing gear warning horn is set to activate at 13 inches of manifold pressure. The flight instructor also stated that the landing checklist was not accomplished. The airplane landed with all three landing gear in the retracted position, which resulted in substantial damage to its undercarriage.

This incident is documented in NTSB report SEA08CA106. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N1925Q.
