Circumstances:
The twin engine aircraft belly landed at Lae-Nadzab Airport. It slid down the runway for few dozen metres before coming to rest. Both occupants escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause:
It was reported that all three green lights came on in the cockpit panel on approach after the gear were selected down. But following a failure in the electrical system, it appears that all three gears remained stuck on their wheel well.
