Narrative:

This unintentional gear up landing occurred during a part 141 final check ride. The pilot was demonstrating a short field landing over a simulated obstacle. Discussion during the downwind leg; over the location of the obstacle; evidently occurred at the time the landing checklist was normally completed. The gear check during the final approach leg; was overlooked by discussion about being clear of the obstacle and the fact I thought I saw the nosewheel light lit up green. It must have been the sun shining on the panel from that angle. I can usually only see the top gear light when the student's hand is on the throttles. Neither one of us remember hearing the gear warning horn. As the flare to land on runway 34 began; a crosswind from the left; started a slight drift to the right; which got my attention. The next thing I noticed was hearing a scraping sound from behind my right shoulder. By the time I figured out it was the step on the runway; I saw the propellers curl around.

THE GEAR CHK DURING THE FINAL APCH LEG; WAS OVERLOOKED BY DISCUSSION ABOUT BEING CLR OF THE OBSTACLE AND THE FACT I THOUGHT I SAW THE NOSEWHEEL LIGHT LIT UP GREEN. IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE SUN SHINING ON THE PANEL FROM THAT ANGLE. I CAN USUALLY ONLY SEE THE TOP GEAR LIGHT WHEN THE STUDENT'S HAND IS ON THE THROTTLES. NEITHER ONE OF US REMEMBER HEARING THE GEAR WARNING HORN. AS THE FLARE TO LAND ON RWY 34 BEGAN; A XWIND FROM THE L; STARTED A SLIGHT DRIFT TO THE R; WHICH GOT MY ATTN. THE NEXT THING I NOTICED WAS HEARING A SCRAPING SOUND FROM BEHIND MY R SHOULDER. BY THE TIME I FIGURED OUT IT WAS THE STEP ON THE RWY; I SAW THE PROPS CURL AROUND.
