Pilot Distraction Likely Led To Gear-up Landing
Pilot said that he did not realize his landing gear was retracted until it was too late and he was “committed to land.”

The owner-pilot of a Beechcraft King Air B200 was focused on an electrical problem when he landed gear up on May 16 at McClellan-Palomar Airport (CRQ), Carlsbad, Calif., according to an NTSB preliminary report released yesterday. While the wing structure of the 1996 turboprop twin sustained substantial damage, the commercial pilot and sole occupant was not injured in the accident.
