- Date: December 13, 2003
- Aircraft: Boeing 737-200
- Location: Lima-Callao-Jorge Chávez, Lima, Peru
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Crew failure to check the non-normal checklist after a flap indication fault, leading to omission of the landing gear extension, with poor crew resource management and no go-around.
An Aero Continente Boeing 737-200 on flight 341 from Caracas continued its approach to Lima after a flap asymmetry indication and did not lower its landing gear. It belly-landed on runway 15 at about 190 knots and slid roughly 2,350 metres. All 100 occupants escaped without injury, but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
