N829BA

On April 06, 2017, a Cessna P210 (N829BA) was involved in an incident near Granby, CO. 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 pilot's failure to extend the landing gear before landing.

The pilot reported that during his first approach to land, he performed a go-around due to excess speed on final approach. He added that he retracted the landing gear and flaps, and remained in the traffic pattern. During the second landing, he extended the flaps and reduced power for a normal landing, but during the landing flare, he heard the propeller strike the runway, and the airplane skidded to a stop. The pilot reported that he "simply forgot to check if the [landing] gear was down on the second landing attempt."

The fuselage sustained substantial damage.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

This incident is documented in NTSB report GAA17CA221. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N829BA.
