Description
Upon landing the aircraft touched down short of the runway, on the safety area before runway 11. The main landing gear destroyed approach lights. In an effort to perform a go-around just prior to touchdown the aircraft became airborne again after aprox. 80 m and the landing gear was retracted. However, a few moments later the aircraft made a horizontal stalled belly landing and skidded for aprox. 900 m before coming to a complete stop on the runway. The airplane was parked at Aruba until March 2008, when it was donated by the Airport Authority to the Aruba Flight Simulator Club.
