Onboard plane crash- no landing gear used, checklist fail ! 
Can only assume the headphones blocked out the warning sound.( warning sound high pitched, stops 1.44)
No injuries

This occurred at Altiport de Megève in France. The accident report says that it was pilot error, so it's pretty clear there was no mechanical failure. On this aircraft, the gear lever is a little white knob that you move up and down (seen here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/03/Socata_TB_cockpit.jpg) (it's that white thing under the right side of the left seat's yoke).
These guys had a decent approach starting out with, but as they got closer, they failed to follow an appro More..

@Jeff223 And a mountain rated flight instructor forgot something as essential as landing gear? That gives me so much confidence in experienced pilots...

The runway seems to be on an incline, maybe not as steep as Courchevel.

Looks like landing gear failure. The sound is the raaws (Radar Altimeter and Altitude Warning System) It goes off if they get too close to the ground with gear up. The sound goes to the headsets and those do not block that sound if they were not working. I used to work on planes.

Typical arrogant pilots/technicians all of you. Always involved in some pissing match about who is smarter than the other.
And just so you know - I had my pilot's license BEFORE my driver license and QUIT flying because it was tiresome to listen to you juvinile asshole primadonnas complain constantly.
Thank you

The alarm indicates an improper flying configuration. (gear/flaps/speed/throttle)
The pilot thinks it's because the throttle is closed (coasting) while the flaps are down....because of his steep descent.
The pilot expects the alarm to quit as he levels out/slows down and adds/opens throttle.
Just as he starts wondering why the alarm doesn't quit, he figures out why.

As a pilot this is just ONE reason of many I fly with one headpnone side off my ear, especially during critical pahases of the flight. You have many senses, use them.

Also, shouldn't he have disengaged the prop, and saved about $15/20K?

On this type you have to turn the engine off and basically try and get it parallel with the ground by cycling the starter. If they had known it would have helped but far easier to gun it and do a go around.

Fifty bucks says the pilot was a doctor/surgeon. Forget blondes, they're the worst pilots out there.

@Gavstar75 Thats why a check list is exactly that - a set of procedures you go through with your co-pilot and literally check each one off together once each thing is done.
No real sympathy for 2 pilots with 1000's of hours of experience between them
