What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On February 28, 2017, at approximately 1438 central standard time, two commercial certificated airmen were involved in a gear-up landing in a Socata trinidad TB-21 at the Salina municipal airport (ksln), Salina, Kansas; the aircraft was operated by 14 CFR part 141 flight school, providing instruction under 14 CFR part 61. A commercial airman, seated in the left seat, was receiving an initial checkout in the TB-21 from a certified flight instructor. The flight instructor was the pilot-in-command during the flight. Winds were light and variable with visual metrological conditions.
After about an hour of in-flight maneuvers, the training flight returned to ksln to practice takeoffs and landings. The tower cleared them to enter right base for runway 36. Upon entering the pattern, the airmen exchanged controls and the instructor was going to demonstrate a landing. At approximately 90 knots, an intermittent tone was heard in the cockpit. The instructor asked the student what that sound was, although the student replied that he did not know. The instructor said it sounded like an intermittent stall horn however the student mentioned that they were above stall speed. The instructor continued the landing; the intermittent tone became a continuous tone in the flare. The aircraft touched down with the landing gear in the retracted position and slid to a stop. Both airmen stated the decent and landing checklists were not completed and the aircraft had no known mechanical abnormalities before or during the flight. There was minor damage to the aircraft. Two souls on board with no reported injuries.
