Narrative:
Cubana flight CU801, an Embraer EMB-110P1 Bandeirante, landed gear-up at Havana-José Martí International Airport, Cuba.
There were 15 passengers and 4 crew on board. Nobody was injured.
The aircraft was lifted and after the undercarriage was extended, the aircraft was towed to the apron.
Most Probable Cause:
The most probable cause of this accident was determined to be the failure of the landing gear to deploy to the down and secured position due to the flight crew's non-compliance with the operational standards established by the operator.
Contributing Factors:
1. Failure to alarm for flap actuation above 38 +/- 2 degrees, with at least one of the landing gear out of the secured down position.
2. Insufficient flight analysis through the use of voice recorders in a proactive manner in accordance with the company's established programme.
