What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During flight instruction a simulated engine failure, while in the traffic pattern, was given to the student. Due to other air traffic in the area, and the engine failure scenario, the student and instructor became distracted and failed to realize the landing gear had not been extended. This resulted in the aircraft landing on runway 33 with the gear retracted and sliding approximately 2000 feet before coming to rest. The landing gear warning horn was working properly, as stated by the pilot.
