(-23) GEAR WAS NOT LOWERED. CFI TOLMAN'S STATEMENT: THE MORNING OF JUNE 29TH, 2004, I MATTHEW S. TOLMAN, CFII FOR SHEBLE AVIATION, WAS CONDUCTING INSTRUCTION IN N6140R, A CESSNA 172RG. I WAS PREPARING KIRK M. VERHOEF FOR A COMMERCIAL CHECK-RIDE WITH A DESIGNATED EXAMINER IN KINGMAN ARIZONA. WE DEPARTED HENDERSON, NV. (KHND) TO TRAVEL TO KINGMAN, AZ. (KIGM) TO ACQUIRE THE 10 HOURS OF INSTRUCTION TIME NECESSARY FOR A COMMERCIAL CHECK-RIDE IN A COMPLEX AIRCRAFT. WHILE IN THE AIR WE DISCUSSED KNOWLEDGE ITEMS THAT WOULD BE A PART OF THE ORAL EXAMINATION LATER THAT AFTERNOON. AFTER ARRIVING IN IGM, WE PREPARED FOR THE PRACTICE AND DEMONSTRATION OF PERFORMANCE LANDINGS IN THE CESSNA 172RG. WE WERE PERFORMING FULL STOP TAXI BACK LANDINGS ON RUNWAY 21. WE HAD SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED 2 SHORT FIELD LANDINGS, A SOFT FIELD LANDING, AND A NORMAL LANDING. WE WERE GOING BACK IN THE PATTERN TO COMPLETE AN ADDITIONAL SOFT FIELD LANDING AND WHILE IN THE PATTERN WE SLOWED THE AIRCRAFT AND BROUGHT ALL THE FLAPS OUT TO DEMONSTRATE SLOW AIRSPEED FOR A SOFT FIELD LANDING. AFTER CLEANING THE AIRPLANE UP WHILE ON AN EXTENDED DOWNWIND, WE TURNED BASE AND FINAL WHILE I TALKED HIM THROUGH THE LANDING PROCEDURE FOR A SOFT FIELD APPROACH. THIS IS TO MEAN THAT I WAS CONCERNING MYSELF WITH THE ROUND-OUT AND FLARE FOR THE APPROACH AND MISSED GOING THROUGH THE GUMPS CHECK-LIST. I SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE GEAR HANDLE SITTING IN THE UP POSITION. I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE GEAR WAS NOT DOWN UNTIL THE PROP STRIKE THAT CAME AS A GREAT SHOCK. WE REMAINED IN THE AIRCRAFT UNTIL IT CAME TO A STOP AND THEN TURNED OFF THE MAGNETOS AND THE MASTER SWITCH AND EXITED THE AIRCRAFT. I THEN CALLED THE FLIGHT SCHOOL DISPATCH AND INFORMED THEM THAT I HAD JUST LANDED THE CESSNA 172RG GEAR UP ON RUNWAY 21 IN KINGMAN. STUDENT PRIVATE PILOT VERHOEF STATEMENT: ON JUNE 29, 2004, AT APPROXIMATELY 1100 PDT I WAS RECEIVING DUAL INSTRUCTION IN A CESSNA 172RG WITH SHEBLE AVIATION. WE WERE PRACTICING TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS AT KINGMAN AIRPORT IN ARIZONA. UPON COMPLETION OF A SIMULATED SHORT FIELD LANDING, THE INSTRUCTOR WANTED TO DEMONSTRATE SLOW FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN. WE CONDUCTED A SIMULATED SHORT FIELD TAKEOFF FROM RWY 21 KINGMAN. ON THE DOWNWIND HE INSTRUCTED ME TO GO FULL FLAPS AND SLOW THE AIRPLANE TO JUST BELOW STALL SPEED, AND DEMONSTRATED SLOW FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS. HE THEN SAID "OK PUT IN ON THENUMBERS". I THEN TURNED LEFT BASE TO FINAL AND TRIMMED FOR ABOUT 70 MPH. AS I RECALL, WE NEVER RECEIVED A GEAR WARNING WHEN THE FLAPS CAME DOWN OR WHEN THE POWER WAS REDUCED. WE LANDED GEAR UP ON RWY 21 KINGMAN. ## Other reports on N6140R (3) Matched to the same aircraft by N-number and date. - [Accident 20041101029279A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/20041101029279A), Nov 1, 2004: Cessna 172RG (N6140R), Kingman, AZ, Substantial damage.
