Location:Malta International Airport (LMML), Luqa -   Malta
Phase: Landing
Nature:Training
Departure airport:Malta-Luqa Airport (MLA/LMML)

Investigating agency: BAAI
Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
The trainer aircraft experienced a gear-up landing at Malta International Airport in Luqa. There were no personal injuries to the two pilots onboard.


The final BAAI conclusion is that the crew may have fallen victim to one or more of what is referred to in aviation as the “FATAL FIVE”. (Reference Flight Safety article by Kreisha Ballantyne)” . It is highly probable that items (1) Task Saturation and (2) Task/ Goal Fixation, which causes all cognitive capacities to be focused on one task exclusively, may have reduced the crew’s capacity to accomplish what they normally perform efficiently and safely.
