What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
CFI reported that they conducted 4 previous landings uneventfully to a full stop and that the accident occurred on the 5th landing, which was the first single-engine approach for the student. The CFI stated that he pulled the left engine to zero thrust about mid field right downwind for runway 20, and the student started his checklists, however, became focused inside, and allowed the airplane drift toward the runway. The CFI said that he reminded the student to look outside, fly the airplane, while doing his checks, and while on base to final, the student engaged the CFI in conversation about single-engine ops. Subsequently, the airplane landed gear up on runway 20. The CFI stated that they ?did not put the gear down? And that he didn?t hear the warning horn until they were sliding down the runway. No mechanical issues with the airplane.
