Narrative:

Practice landing for BFR with instructor. After first landing at shelton airport in very good conditions; put gear up on takeoff and then forgot to put gear down on second landing. Aircraft skidded to stop. No injuries to pilot or instructor. This was a BFR flight with an instructor. I was anxious trying too hard to do everything right. Solution might be to be less 'up-tight.' supplemental information from acn 709499: I had an appointment with pilot to do his flight review. After the oral portion of the flight review we went flying in his C182RG. For the flight; the plan was to take off from bfi; fly to shn; private pilot maneuvers on the way; take off and lndgs at shelton; and then hood work on the way back to bfi. After doing maneuvers; we continued on to shn to do lndgs. We landed without incident. On the subsequent takeoff; which was supposed to be a soft field takeoff; pilot did not put in any flaps and did not hold the aircraft in ground effect. On turning downwind; I told pilot that we needed to do the soft field procedure again with 20 degrees of flaps and holding the aircraft in ground effect. When we got abeam the numbers of runway 23; pilot began to configure the aircraft for landing. I noticed at this point that the gear was still in the up position. My intention was to use this as a teaching opportunity and let him come down on final (if he didn't discover the gear) and have him go around. On base; with flaps down; the gear horn was clearly going off. I let him get about 1/2 way down final and told him to go around. He wasn't doing anything; so I said it again at least 3 times. At this point; on short final; I thought he was beginning to execute a go around. I then began to think about the next phase of flight. I then realized he was flaring for landing and went to take the controls; but it was too late. We landed with the gear still in the up position. Realizing what had just happened; I immediately pulled the mixture; and we skidded to the right and came to rest at the side of the runway. There was no fire; so we secured the airplane and egressed. What caused the problem was my wanting to use the importance of landing gear down as a lesson; waiting until too far down final to take the controls; and beginning to think about the next phase of flight when another critical phase of flight was not yet complete. What I will do to prevent a recurrence is to increase my personal minimums to where I will never turn onto final or let anyone I am instructing without the gear down. I will also be totally focused on flying the aircraft until it is done flying on the ground. I will also continue my policy of no less than 3 gear checks for landing.

Title: A C182RG ON A TRAINING FLT LANDED GEAR UP.

Narrative: PRACTICE LNDG FOR BFR WITH INSTRUCTOR. AFTER FIRST LNDG AT SHELTON ARPT IN VERY GOOD CONDITIONS; PUT GEAR UP ON TKOF AND THEN FORGOT TO PUT GEAR DOWN ON SECOND LNDG. ACFT SKIDDED TO STOP. NO INJURIES TO PLT OR INSTRUCTOR. THIS WAS A BFR FLT WITH AN INSTRUCTOR. I WAS ANXIOUS TRYING TOO HARD TO DO EVERYTHING RIGHT. SOLUTION MIGHT BE TO BE LESS 'UP-TIGHT.' SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 709499: I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH PLT TO DO HIS FLT REVIEW. AFTER THE ORAL PORTION OF THE FLT REVIEW WE WENT FLYING IN HIS C182RG. FOR THE FLT; THE PLAN WAS TO TAKE OFF FROM BFI; FLY TO SHN; PVT PLT MANEUVERS ON THE WAY; TAKE OFF AND LNDGS AT SHELTON; AND THEN HOOD WORK ON THE WAY BACK TO BFI. AFTER DOING MANEUVERS; WE CONTINUED ON TO SHN TO DO LNDGS. WE LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. ON THE SUBSEQUENT TKOF; WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SOFT FIELD TKOF; PLT DID NOT PUT IN ANY FLAPS AND DID NOT HOLD THE ACFT IN GND EFFECT. ON TURNING DOWNWIND; I TOLD PLT THAT WE NEEDED TO DO THE SOFT FIELD PROC AGAIN WITH 20 DEGS OF FLAPS AND HOLDING THE ACFT IN GND EFFECT. WHEN WE GOT ABEAM THE NUMBERS OF RWY 23; PLT BEGAN TO CONFIGURE THE ACFT FOR LNDG. I NOTICED AT THIS POINT THAT THE GEAR WAS STILL IN THE UP POS. MY INTENTION WAS TO USE THIS AS A TEACHING OPPORTUNITY AND LET HIM COME DOWN ON FINAL (IF HE DIDN'T DISCOVER THE GEAR) AND HAVE HIM GO AROUND. ON BASE; WITH FLAPS DOWN; THE GEAR HORN WAS CLRLY GOING OFF. I LET HIM GET ABOUT 1/2 WAY DOWN FINAL AND TOLD HIM TO GO AROUND. HE WASN'T DOING ANYTHING; SO I SAID IT AGAIN AT LEAST 3 TIMES. AT THIS POINT; ON SHORT FINAL; I THOUGHT HE WAS BEGINNING TO EXECUTE A GAR. I THEN BEGAN TO THINK ABOUT THE NEXT PHASE OF FLT. I THEN REALIZED HE WAS FLARING FOR LNDG AND WENT TO TAKE THE CTLS; BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. WE LANDED WITH THE GEAR STILL IN THE UP POS. REALIZING WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED; I IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE MIXTURE; AND WE SKIDDED TO THE R AND CAME TO REST AT THE SIDE OF THE RWY. THERE WAS NO FIRE; SO WE SECURED THE AIRPLANE AND EGRESSED. WHAT CAUSED THE PROB WAS MY WANTING TO USE THE IMPORTANCE OF LNDG GEAR DOWN AS A LESSON; WAITING UNTIL TOO FAR DOWN FINAL TO TAKE THE CTLS; AND BEGINNING TO THINK ABOUT THE NEXT PHASE OF FLT WHEN ANOTHER CRITICAL PHASE OF FLT WAS NOT YET COMPLETE. WHAT I WILL DO TO PREVENT A RECURRENCE IS TO INCREASE MY PERSONAL MINIMUMS TO WHERE I WILL NEVER TURN ONTO FINAL OR LET ANYONE I AM INSTRUCTING WITHOUT THE GEAR DOWN. I WILL ALSO BE TOTALLY FOCUSED ON FLYING THE ACFT UNTIL IT IS DONE FLYING ON THE GND. I WILL ALSO CONTINUE MY POLICY OF NO LESS THAN 3 GEAR CHKS FOR LNDG.
