- Date: July 27, 1993
- Aircraft: Convair CV-240
- Location: Boise, Idaho, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's failure to extend the landing gear, and the check pilot's inadequate supervision. Inadequate upgrade training by the company was a contributing factor.
A Convair CV-240 operated by Renoun Aviation was on a type-rating and pilot check flight at Boise, with an FAA inspector in the right seat. During a simulated single-engine approach the left-seat pilot did not lower the landing gear, and the aircraft landed wheels up on the runway. No one was hurt, but the aircraft and runway were damaged.
