What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot privacy data omitted departed falcon field airport (kffz) at 0710 local for communication and multi-engine training flight with a student pilot. During a simulated single engine go-around off the ILS 5 approach at casa grande airport (kcgz) while retracting the landing gear it mechanically jammed with the nose gear tire about 1/3 in the wheel well as seen in mirrors mounted on the inside of the engine cowl panels. Subsequent attempts to raise or lower the landing gear failed with the circuit breaker popping. The pilot followed the emergency checklist, which said to extend the landing gear manually. The manual attempt also failed to extend the landing gear. The pilot decided to land gear up at phoenix-Mesa gateway airport (kiwa) as there are 3 long runways and emergency equipment available. The pilot declared an emergency and proceeded to land the aircraft on runway 12L at (kiwa) with the fuel shut off and both engines shut down and props feathered to the horizontal position. On touchdown, they cracked open the doors, and the aircraft stopped sliding on the runway in about 300 to 400 feet. The pilot turned off the mags, and master switch and both exited the aircraft with no injuries.
