Cherokee 6 bites the bitumen at Jandakot
I assume Lance / Saratoga?
TWO people escaped unscathed when their light plane landed on its underbelly at Perth's busy Jandakot airport.
The Cherokee Six, with two people on board, crash landed overnight, Australian Transport Safety Bureau spokesman Julian Walsh said.
Mr Walsh said it was unclear of the pilot forgot to lower the landing gear, or if there was a malfunction.
"There were no injuries,'' he said.
The ATSB is unlikely to investigate the incident.
The body probes 80 of the approximately 8,000 incidents reported each year.

This story has now been updated, it's now a lance apparently, which certainly makes more sense....

"We get 7500 to 8000 occurrances reported each year and we only have the resources to investigate 80 of those"
That's forty (40) "occurrances" of the seriousness of a wheels up landing or worse each week !!!!!
Man you guys must be screwing up badly out there cause I have only racked up one (1) such "occurrance" (no, not a wheels up!) every 10 years for the last 3 decades!

40 per week...seems a bit of an overestimation
