Analysis
The acft landed gear up after a practice single-eng procedure. The plt attempted a go-around when the landing was aborted due to an improper approach. When the approach proceeded to this point with an intentionally inoperative eng the go-around was not a practical solution. When the plt realized this he concluded the flt by landing gear-up on the arpt.
