What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
A flight instructor was conducting a PIC proficiency check on a pilot in a PA-28R-200 at ksgj. The first landing (touch and go) was uneventful. During the second traffic pattern (full stop), an aircraft was taxiing to hold short of the runway which distracted the pilot and instructor as they discussed which taxiway they would need to depart the runway on. The accident aircraft landed on runway 13 with the gear retracted as the pilots failed to actuate the gear handle prior to landing. The accident resulted in no injuries but substantial damage to the aircraft.
