Narrative:

I was on a long downwind approach looking for traffic to follow and was absorbed with how busy the approach and tower folks were with all the takeoffs and lndgs. I became distraction, to the point that not only did I forget to extend the landing gear, but also forgot to verify my landing checklist. A corrective action would be to consider requiring gear warnings to be wired into the headsets, as it worked, but I did not hear it with all the chatter and with headset on. Protect against distrs.

Title: A C-T210 SINGLE PLT LANDED GEAR UP AT SRQ.

Narrative: I WAS ON A LONG DOWNWIND APCH LOOKING FOR TFC TO FOLLOW AND WAS ABSORBED WITH HOW BUSY THE APCH AND TWR FOLKS WERE WITH ALL THE TKOFS AND LNDGS. I BECAME DISTR, TO THE POINT THAT NOT ONLY DID I FORGET TO EXTEND THE LNDG GEAR, BUT ALSO FORGOT TO VERIFY MY LNDG CHKLIST. A CORRECTIVE ACTION WOULD BE TO CONSIDER REQUIRING GEAR WARNINGS TO BE WIRED INTO THE HEADSETS, AS IT WORKED, BUT I DID NOT HEAR IT WITH ALL THE CHATTER AND WITH HEADSET ON. PROTECT AGAINST DISTRS.
