On November 11, 1995, at 1515 mountain standard time, a Cessna 210B, N9651X, was substantially damaged while landing at Fort Collins-Loveland Airport, Loveland, Colorado. The private pilot was not injured. The airplane, owned by Flite Inc., was being operated under Title 14 CFR Part 91 when the accident occurred. The personal flight originated at Fort Collins-Loveland Airport and was practicing touch and go landings on runway 24L. No flight plan was filed and visual meteorological conditions prevailed. The pilot reported that, during a touch and go landing on runway 24L, he "forgot" to extend the landing gear. Additionally, the pilot reported that, as he was "flaring" prior to touch down, he heard an aural warning horn, but perceived the sound to be a "stall warning." Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed structural damage to the fuselage.
