Narrative:

After practicing commercial flight maneuvers; me and my instructor were coming for landing. We went trough our pre-landing checklist and verified landing gear was extended by looking at the gear position light which was green; and visually looking at the main wheels extended. After we touched down we found out our nose gear didn't extend. We landed with main gears down and nose gear in the retracted position.
