The airplane sustained substantial damage to the lower fuselage. Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the landing gear warning horn was inoperative.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to extend the landing gear before landing. Contributing to the accident was an inoperative landing gear warning horn.
