- Date: October 26, 2005
- Aircraft: Learjet 25
- Location: Sacramento-McClellan, California, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's failure to extend the landing gear and verify it was down and locked before landing. Diverted attention was a related factor.
The Learjet landed on the runway at McClellan with its gear still retracted. The pilot had been distracted by a helicopter radio call during the before-landing checks and did not confirm the gear was down. The touchdown was smooth and nobody was hurt.
