## Narrative

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

(-23)THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR REPORT THAT HE AND HIS STUDENT WERE RETURNING FROM A LESSON FOR A SIMULATED SINGLE ENGINE LANDING. THE INSTRUCTOR STATED THAT HE AND THE TRAINEE DISCUSSED THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR, AND THEN EXTENDED THE LANDING GEAR AT THE TIME OF TURNING FINAL.  THE INSTRUCTOR STATED THAT HE VERIFIED THAT THE LANDING GEAR WERE DOWN ABD LOCKED. THE INSTRUCTOR AND TRAINEE BECAME DISTRATED BY THE FACT THAT THE AIRCRAFT AHEAD OF THEM WAS SLOW CLEARING THE RUNWAY, CREATING THE POSSIBLITY OF A GO AROUND.  THE INSTRUCTOR BELIEVES THAT THE TRAINEEE RETRACTED THE LANDIGN GEAR IN PREPARATION FOR THE POSSIBLE GO ARUND. WHEN THE PRECEEDING AIRCRAFT CLEARED THE RUNWAY, THE INSTRUCTOR AND TRAINEE CONTINUED THE APPROACH AND LANDED WITH THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTED.
