What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Student training flight three landings at Flagstaff airport; 1st from a simulated engine fire, 2nd from a normal approach to a touch and go, and the 3rd, the instructor simulated an engine failure on downwind. On this final scenario, additional traffic entered the pattern and N593ER was instructed to extend their downwind. The student pilot stated he elected to delay gear extension and leave the flaps up in conjunction with the extended downwind with a simulated engine failure. This practice is consistent with the AFM procedures. Flaps were extended before landing; the gear was overlooked. Flagstaff tower tapes reportedly captured the gear horn in the background of the radio transmissions.
