Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that he “felt rushed” during an instrument approach at the destination airport. While on the instrument approach, he opted to extend the airplane’s speed brakes to descend “1,500ft within a few miles” while he maintained airspeed. The pilot mentioned that he typically would perform a before landing check at 500 ft above ground level, but failed to do so on this flight. The airplane touched down on the runway with its landing gear retracted, which resulted in substantial damage to the airplane’s fuselage. The pilot stated that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
