## Narrative

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

(-23) FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR VOGEL WAS TEACHING SHORT FIELD LANDINGS TO MR. WIEBE IN PREPARATION FOR WIEBE'S COMMERCIAL PILOT FLIGHT TEST. AFTER A NUMBER OF PRACTICE LANDINGS AT FTG, THE PILOTS LANDED THE AIRCRAFT WITH THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTED. THE AIRCRAFT CAUGHT FIRE IMMEDIATELY AFTER LANDING, THE OCCUPANTS EXITED THE AIRCRAFT, AND THE AIRCRAFT BURNED ON THE RUNWAY. FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR VOGEL ADMITTED THAT HE FORGOT TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR. PILOT WIEBE STATED THAT THE BEFORE-LANDING CHECK LIST WAS NOT USED IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN PRIOR TO THE GEAR-UP LANDING.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
