An Embraer EMB-110P1 (Bandeirante) ZK-KIP, while approaching Auckland International Airport on the evening of 28 September 1994, experienced an undercarriage malfunction. The right main wheel could not be lowered by either normal or emergency means, and the aircraft was subsequently landed "wheels-up" at 1949 hours without injury to either of the two crew members on board. A safety issue identified was post-maintenance inspection.
He consider producing an article for "New Zealand Flight Safety" magazine on the subject of post-maintenance inspection of aircraft for ensuring that tools and equipment have been removed after maintenance.
