Narrative:According to the pilot she neglected to lower the undercarriage prior to landing. Apparently she was to simulate ILS approaches, but after the first approach due to incoming IFR traffic she could not return to the beacon immediately and carried out two touch and go landings. On the next circuit she delayed lowering the undercarriage hoping she could return to the beacon. She was also asked by the ATC to make room for two departing aircraft before turning base. The pilot's focus was on the departing aircraft and during the base turn she was instructed to change to Runway 06R and was warned of traffic on final approach to that runway. She looked out for the traffic and had to re-plan her approach by applying power to land on Runway 06R. The pilot gave no indication of any defects or abnormalities prior to the accident. The aircraft was maintained as prescribed and the next MPI was due on 13 February 2003 or at 1878 flying hours whichever occurred first and the aircraft was operated for 6 hours since the last MPI. PROBABLE CAUSE: The pilot neglected to lower the undercarriage prior to landing.
