The pilot landed the airplane with the landing gear in the retracted position. The airplane slid to a stop and a post-impact fire erupted. The airplane was number 2 to land behind a transport category airplane, and a transport category airplane was on final approach behind the airplane. The 3,806-hour pilot did not extend the landing gear according to the checklist sequence as he was keeping the airplane's speed up, and planning to land the airplane beyond the touchdown point of the landing transport category airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to comply with the checklist resulting in a wheels up landing. Contributing to the accident was self-induced pressure.
