Cessna Citation Mustang at Daytona Beach Airport lands without landing gear

The article seems to suggest the gear problem was known in advance...hence the 1st CFR vehicle already staged. But, if true, it was poor staging for the 2nd CFR vehicle which was NOT in a good position.

Actually that response was slow. Should have been rolling as soon as it touched down on runway. not waiting for it to stop skidding along.

That plane has 3 ways to release the uplocks and get the gear down. It will be interesting to learn what maintenance/operational scenario led to the gear up landing. Also, the Mustang does not have the belly skid (alternate landing gear as some say) that the CJ line of aircraft have to protect fuel and hydraulic lines in the event of a gear up landing. It appears that it should from the fire that developed as this airplane came to a stop.

Glad all are safe.

Here’s the flight profile:

I believe the plane was only just purchased in October or November of 2019.

Understandable if this was mechanical failure or deliberate, but how is it possible to do this accidentally? Must be hard to ignore the warning warning horns and flashing lights in a sophisticated aircraft like this no?

I presume this was an accidental, gear up landing. If that was the case, then the fire/ems crews did not know there was a problem until the Citation Jet went skidding down the runway.
