DURING A NIGHT VISUAL APPROACH TO THE AIRPORT, LOCATED IN THE MOUNTAINS AT 8,860 FEET MSL, THE PILOT WAS HIGH AND ELECTED TO GO-AROUND. TO IMPROVE AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE DURING THE GO-AROUND, THE PILOT RAISED THE LANDING GEAR. HE FORGOT TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR ON THE SECOND APPROACH AND LANDED WITH THE WHEELS RETRACTED. DURING THE SECOND APPROACH, THE PILOT SAID HE GOT A WARNING HORN AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE STALL WARNING SO HE ADDED POWER AND THOUGHT HE HAD SOLVED THE PROBLEM WHEN THE HORN SILENCED. ON THIS MODEL AIRCRAFT, THE STALL HORN AND LANDING GEAR HORN ARE THE SAME HORN WITH DIFFERENT ACTIVATORS AND A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SOUND. BY ADVANCING THE THROTTLE HE SILENCED THE LANDING GEAR WARNING HORN.
