Read the full NTSB narrative
The commercial pilot reported that the flight was concluding at the end of his 17-hour duty day. He stated that he did not confirm a safe landing gear indication before landing and that the airplane subsequently landed with the landing gear retracted, which resulted in substantial damage. The pilot also stated that fatigue and self-induced distractions contributed to the accident, and that there were no mechanical anomalies with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
