The aircraft landed gear up after doing circuits from runway 17.
Probable Cause
The landing gear selector was not selected to the down position on final approach, which resulted in
the belly landing.
Contributing Factors
1. The action of lowering the landing gear selector was only verbalised and its position not verified before landing.
2. Due to confirmation bias, the three green landing gear lights were not checked on the panel on final approach during the fourth landing.
3. The landing gear warning system did not sound when the landing gear was still retracted, possibly due to manifold pressure being above 15 inches on approach.
4. There was a lack of monitoring to ensure that the landing checklist was correctly carried out as required by the POH and circuit procedures of the school.
