## Narrative

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

WHILE PRACTICING TOUCH AND GOS AT ROCK HILL AIRPORT, THE TRAFFIC PATTERN BECAME INCREASINGLY BUSY. WHILE THERE WAS A SLOWER AIRCRAFT AHEAD OF ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, AS WELL AS ANOTHER AIRCRAFT BEHIND ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^THAT ENTERED THE TRAFFIC PATTERN ON THE DOWNWIND. THE PILOT BEGAN THEIR "GUMPS" CHECKLIST AND EXTENDED THE FLAPS. THE PILOT STATED THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT STAYING CLEAR OF THE CLASS B AIRSPACE 2 NM NORTH OF THE FIELD AS WELL AS MAINTAINING SEPARATION FROM THE OTHER AIRCRAFT IN THE PATTERN.  WHEN THE AIRCRAFT AHEAD OF ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ ANNOUNCED THEY WOULD BE A FULL-STOP LANDING, THE PILOT OF ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ BECAME FOCUSED ON SPACING BETWEEN THE TWO AIRPLANES.  AS A RESULT OF THIS FIXATION, THE PILOT OF ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^FAILED TO COMPLETE THE REMAINDER OF THE "GUMPS" CHECKLIST AND LANDED WITH THE GEAR RETRACTED.
