## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23)WHILE CONDUCTING THE LAST DUAL FLIGHT PRIOR TO STUDENT'S SCHEDULE COMMERICAL CHECK RIDE THE STUDENT FAILED TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR BEFORE LANDING. DURING THE APPROACH AND LANDING THE INSTRUCTOR WAS DISTRACTED BY ANOTHER AIRCRAFT IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN AND FAILED TO NOTICE THAT THE GEAR HAD NOT BEEN LOWERED PRIOR TO TOUCH DOWN.  BOTH THE INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT STATED THAT THEY DID NOT SPECIFIALLY RECALL HEARING THE GEAR WARNING HORN AT ANY TIME DURING THE APPROACH AND LANDING.  THEY BOTH DID HOWEVER STATE THAT WHILE PRACTICING AIRWORK AT REDUCED POWER SETTING PRIOR TO THE LANDING THE GEAR HORN WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
