Pilot statement:
Re: incident event 27 may 24, Kingman Airport, Kingman, AZ, Mooney 20A.
I departed the airport about 0815 for a proficiency flight. I proceeded north, did a series of stalls and eights around two points. I then returned to the airport with no known traffic and made a controlled, straight in descent and landing on rwy 21. I departed again and made a second standard pattern landing on 21. Again departing, I heard another aircraft call that he was on down wind. I extended my crosswind to I40 calling out extended crosswind and asked for a position report from the downwind aircraft but received no reply. I re-entered the pattern on a 45 and announced my position but saw no one. Two additional aircraft called inbound. As I began to reach my point to turn base, I saw an aircraft on final about a mile out. I decided to make a precision spot landing and turn off at the first turnoff. I lowered flaps, a non- standard procedure for me. When the other aircraft passed my point I called base and began my approach. I concentrated on my landing point adjusting power and pitch. This continued until I rotated, pulled the last of throttle and hit the spot. I stopped when it was time to make the turn off the runway. The horn sounded at the last power change. Why did it happen' on every landing I have ever made I was taught to say, “gear, prop, mixture” while touching the items. On every landing I have done so except the last one and have never forgot the gear before. I will never attempt a spot landing unless configured down wind.
