What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot was conducting traffic pattern work and upon landing noted he failed to confirm landing gear position resulting in a gear up landing. Aircraft skided to a stop damging prop and aircraft lower fuselage. This aircraft landing gear switch is a three position switch, up-off-down. Pilot stated that he did not take his hand off the throttle like he normally would to engage the landing gear. He fliped the landing gear switch with his right thumb resulting in the switch going from the up position to the off position, not the down position. He also noted that he never looked at the landing gear down indicator confirming the landing gear position.
