A Swearingen SA226-AT Merlin IVA cargo plane, registered EC-GFK, suffered a landing accident at Gerona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO), Spain. The aircraft operated on a local training flight.
The flight took off from runway 20 and two landings were carried out, followed by two touch-and-goes. The aircraft then circled for a full stop landing. The undercarriage was not deployed and the aircraft landed gear-up.
After it came to rest, the left engine caught fire, but this was quickly subdued.
Causes/Contributing factors (translated from Spanish):
The cause of the accident was that the crew failed to actuate the lever used to deploy the landing gear.
Inadequate presentation, in the operator's operating manuals, of the flight tasks to be performed by each crew member and the timing of these tasks is identified as a contributing factor.
