## Narrative

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

THE PURPOSE OF THE FLIGHT WAS FOR THE STAFF CFI TO CHECK OUT A NEW MEMBER PILOT OF THE ORGANIZATION (PILOTS FOR CHRIST - A NON-PROFIT CHARITY).  FROM 3,000' MSL OVER KLRY, THE CFI (PIC) INITIATED A SIMULATED ENGINE FAILURE.  THE PILOT FLYING ENTERED INTO A SPIRAL OVER THE AIRPORT, AND ATTEMPTED TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR PRIOR TO TURNING BASE LEG (ACTUATED THROUGH THE USE OF A "JOHNSON BAR").  AT TOUCHDOWN, THE ACFT BOUNCED, AND ON SECOND CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY, THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED.   POST-INCIDENT INVESTIGATION FOUND NO MECHANICAL IRREGULARITIES WITH GEAR SYSTEM.  NEITHER PILOT COULD RECALL THAT THE JOHNSON BAR HAD "CLICKED" INTO PLACE. THAT WOULD HAVE ENSURED A POSITIVE LOCKED-DOWN POSITION.  CFI STATED THAT, ALTHOUGH HE REMINDED PF TO EXTEND LANDING GEAR, HE DID NOT OBSERVE A GREEN GEAR DOWN LIGHT.
