Narrative:
I was returning to mqj airport on an IFR flight plan from I77. I was being radar vectored by indianapolis approach control for the ILS 25 at mqj airport in IMC. I intercepted the localizer and OM. I extended the landing gear and was VFR about 1100 ft AGL. I rotated the aircraft to land and felt a bump and then the wheels seemed to fold and we experienced a gear up landing. I don't remember if I checked for the gear lights and there was no gear warning horn heard by the pilot or passenger. I believe that I was concentrating on the approach and neglected to xchk for lights.

Narrative: I WAS RETURNING TO MQJ ARPT ON AN IFR FLT PLAN FROM I77. I WAS BEING RADAR VECTORED BY INDIANAPOLIS APCH CTL FOR THE ILS 25 AT MQJ ARPT IN IMC. I INTERCEPTED THE LOC AND OM. I EXTENDED THE LNDG GEAR AND WAS VFR ABOUT 1100 FT AGL. I ROTATED THE ACFT TO LAND AND FELT A BUMP AND THEN THE WHEELS SEEMED TO FOLD AND WE EXPERIENCED A GEAR UP LNDG. I DON'T REMEMBER IF I CHKED FOR THE GEAR LIGHTS AND THERE WAS NO GEAR WARNING HORN HEARD BY THE PLT OR PAX. I BELIEVE THAT I WAS CONCENTRATING ON THE APCH AND NEGLECTED TO XCHK FOR LIGHTS.
