## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE PILOT IN COMMAND (PIC) WAS PROVIDING MULTIENGINE INSTRUCTION TO A NON-RATED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR WHEN THEY LANDED THE AIRCRAFT GEAR UP AT ROCKY MOUNTAIN METRO AIRPORT. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE ON BOARD AND NEITHER RECEIVED ANY INJURIES. THE WEATHER WAS VFR WITH VARIABLE WINDS AT 3 KNOTS, SKY CLEAR AND TEMPERATURE OF 23° C. THE FLIGHT HAD DEPARTED AN HOUR EARLIER AND PERFORMED MANEUVERS IN THE PRACTICE AREA. THE CREW HAD PERFORMED THREE STOP AND GO LANDINGS AND WERE PLANNING A FINAL LANDING TO CONCLUDE THE LESSON. THE PIC WANTED HIS STUDENT TO PERFORM A SIMULATED ENGINE OUT IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN TO A SINGLE ENGINE LANDING. THE PIC BRIEFED HIS STUDENT THAT THE SIMULATED ENGINE FAILURE WOULD TAKE PLACE IN THE DOWNWIND. APPROACHING MIDFIELD, THE TOWER INSTRUCTED THE AIRCRAFT TO EXTEND DOWNWIND FOR TRAFFIC AHEAD. THE PIC DECIDED TO DELAY THE SIMULATED ENGINE FAILURE TILL THEY PASSED THE TRAFFIC TURNING BASE TO BETTER CONFIGURE THE AIRCRAFT. AT THIS POINT THE PIC ESTIMATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS FOUR MILES FROM THE AIRPORT WHEN INSTRUCTED TO MAKE THE BASE TURN. THE PIC REALIZED THAT THE STUDENT COULD NOT PERFORM THE MEMORY ITEMS ON BASE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND STATED TO THE STUDENT THAT THE SIMULATED ENGINE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR ONCE ESTABLISHED ON FINAL. THE STUDENT MANEUVERED THE AIRCRAFT ONTO FINAL AND THE PIC RETARDED THE ENGINE FOR THE SIMULATED ENGINE FAILURE. THE STUDENT STRUGGLED WITH ESTABLISHING THE CORRECT FLIGHT PATH AND APPROACH. THE PIC CONTINUED TO PROVIDE INSTRUCTION WITH BOTH CREW MEMBERS BECOMING TASK SATURATED. IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN THE TOWER RADIOED FOR A GO-AROUND DUE TO NO GEAR DOWN. THE CREW TOUCHED DOWN RIGHT OF THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE AND CAME TO A STOP. THE PIC INITIATED THE ENGINE SECURE CHECKLIST AND BOTH CREWMEMBERS EXITED THE AIRCRAFT.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS LIFTED AND THE LANDING GEAR EXTENDED ON THE RUNWAY.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
