Analysis

After the plt applied carb heat during the approach sequence, he became concerned about roughness in the eng. At about that same time, the tower cleared him to land behind another acft; however, at 1st, he did not have the other acft in sight & spent several seconds looking for it. Subsequently, the eng roughness dissipated, but the plt forgot to extend the landing gear & landed gear up.
