A pilot performing touch and go landings at Ellington Airport on Sunday morning made a belly landing with the aircraft, state police said. (www.courant.com) 更多...
It first sounded like someone forgot to put the gear down. However, the link below states: "While landing from the north side of the airport, the gear failed to retract and the Mooney single-engine plane slid on its belly for 183 yards". While landing, gear failed to retract??? Maybe malfunction rather than missed checklist step.
