- Date: April 9, 2011
- Aircraft: Rockwell Sabreliner 60
- Location: Fort Lauderdale-Executive, Florida, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Landing gear failed to extend, forcing a wheels-up landing; no NTSB investigation was carried out.
A Sabreliner 60 on a private flight from Fort Lauderdale could not lower its landing gear on approach to West Palm Beach and returned to Fort Lauderdale Executive. The gear still would not extend on final, so the crew landed belly first on runway 08 and slid to a stop. No one was hurt, but the jet was damaged beyond repair.
