Falcon 900EX gear-up landing

[Valkyrie]

A florida (?) based (Boca Raton?) Falcon 900EX, VP-BMS, a 1999 model, landed this night at London-Stansted with the gear-up, after a diversion from London-Luton.

The flight originated in Tanzania, Africa.

No injuries among the 2 passengers and pilots.

Ouch! Yet another illustration of the importance of checklists.

And this wasn't a gear malfunction - but pilot malfunction?

And you are basing this on what factual information??

Glad we've solved another mystery, in just a matter of a few hours, as to why a professionaly flown airplane has had an incident/accident....no checklist..............

Wait till the facts are actually reported.

It's pretty hard to "gear up" with an EGPWS, I'll betcha a cold beverage it was something mechanical.

Not too mention a loud, annoying gear horn........

I suppose I am surmising, but it seems to me that most unintentional gear-up landings are due to distaction in the cockpit, and misuse of checklists.
