Narrative:
Aircraft chkout for student who already had a gear violation at I69 had completed steep turns, slow flight, power-off stalls in practice area. After initial touch-and-go, was flying and describing demonstration noise abatement pattern. Pattern requires flap for climb, 150 degrees right turn over river at 250 ft AGL, no/very short downwind. Gumps was rushed, gear lever obviously not properly positioned from right seat. All other controls correct. Due to commentary on altitude/speed, gear lights not checked on final. Gear partly down by emergency system, no audible gear warning. Landed runway 8, slid to stop on runway centerline (180 degree turn at end). Do not instruct if you are not current in make and model -- not just type. Ensure noise abatement patterns are practical and don't cause rushing. Exercise 91.3 authority/authorized if necessary. Fly the plane first. Commenting for instruction is communication and should always be 3RD priority.

Narrative: ACFT CHKOUT FOR STUDENT WHO ALREADY HAD A GEAR VIOLATION AT I69 HAD COMPLETED STEEP TURNS, SLOW FLT, PWR-OFF STALLS IN PRACTICE AREA. AFTER INITIAL TOUCH-AND-GO, WAS FLYING AND DESCRIBING DEMONSTRATION NOISE ABATEMENT PATTERN. PATTERN REQUIRES FLAP FOR CLB, 150 DEGS R TURN OVER RIVER AT 250 FT AGL, NO/VERY SHORT DOWNWIND. GUMPS WAS RUSHED, GEAR LEVER OBVIOUSLY NOT PROPERLY POSITIONED FROM R SEAT. ALL OTHER CTLS CORRECT. DUE TO COMMENTARY ON ALT/SPD, GEAR LIGHTS NOT CHKED ON FINAL. GEAR PARTLY DOWN BY EMER SYS, NO AUDIBLE GEAR WARNING. LANDED RWY 8, SLID TO STOP ON RWY CTRLINE (180 DEG TURN AT END). DO NOT INSTRUCT IF YOU ARE NOT CURRENT IN MAKE AND MODEL -- NOT JUST TYPE. ENSURE NOISE ABATEMENT PATTERNS ARE PRACTICAL AND DON'T CAUSE RUSHING. EXERCISE 91.3 AUTH IF NECESSARY. FLY THE PLANE FIRST. COMMENTING FOR INSTRUCTION IS COM AND SHOULD ALWAYS BE 3RD PRIORITY.
