The instructor and two students were conducting conversion training on a Baron BE55. During the approach for the second touch and go landing the student was experiencing problems in adjusting to the approach speed. Both the instructor and the student concentrated on correcting the approach speed and forgot to select the landing gear down. After landing on runway 28 with the undercarriage retracted the persons on board evacuated the aircraft and it started to burn. The fire was extinguished by the fire brigade. The aircraft sustained damage to the bottom of the fuselage and propellers. The crew on board were not injured. The last MPI was certified on 6 January 2003 at a total of 6636.3 flying hours.
