Read the full NTSB narrative

FAILURE TO COMPLETE BOTH THE TAKEOFF AND LANDING CHECK-LISTS RESULTED IN TAKING OFF WITH THE ELEVATOR TRIM IMPROPERLY SET AND THE GEAR-UP LANDING. ACCORDING TO THE PLT, AS THE ACFT WAS CLEANED-UP AFTER TAKEOFF FROM RWY 17R THE NOSE BECAME VERY HEAVY. THE PRECAUTIONARY LANDING WAS MADE TO RWY 26, INADVERTENTLY GEAR-UP. AFTER RECOVERY OF THE ACFT WRECKAGE THE ELEVATOR TRIM WAS FOUND FULL NOSE DOWN. INVESTIGATION REVEALED NO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS. THE PLT STATED THAT PRIOR TO TAKEOFF THE TRIM WAS IN THE TAKEOFF RANGE AND THAT NO EFFORTS TO RE-TRIM WERE MADE DURING THE SHORT FLT.
