Circumstances:

The airplane departed Biskra to transfer two mechanics to Laghouat. On approach to Laghouat, at an altitude of 400 metres, the crew descended below clouds and continued the approach. At a height of about 150-200 metres, the pilot encountered pressure on the control column. He decided to initiate a go around, raised the landing gear and the flaps. At full power, the airplane lost height and landed gear up on runway, slid for few hundred metres and came to rest. All four occupants escaped unhurt and the airplane was damaged beyond repair.
