What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot was accomplishing his required flight review as per FAR 61.56. After completing in-flight maneuvers pilots flew back to the Enterprise, AL (edn) airport to do take off and landings. After the second landing the pilot did the before landing check-list using the check for gas, undercarriage, mixtures, props, and seat belts (gumps). Both pilots assured the landing gear switch was down; they do not remember confirming and or checking the gear down and lock green light on. The incident took place while conducting the third landing. Prior to touchdown; “everything was going just fine” until the pilots heard the metal scraping the runway. There were no physical injuries, and the aircraft sustained minor structural damage. “the pilots reported smoke in the cockpit which smelled electrical” it appears the landing gear was cycled too many times; causing the landing gear electrical system to over heat. The pilot privacy data omitted stated that maintenance had been performed on the aircraft due to electrical issues including shorted wire from the generator that had been fixed. Post gear up landing; it was found the landing gear circuit breaker was tripped. Reason for the landing gear not extending.
