| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot and a friend flew from Grand Central to Rustenburg. On arriving at Rustenburg, the pilot was in radio contact with another aircraft that was engaged in circuit and landing exercises and positioned himself behind the other aircraft on the downwind leg of the circuit. The pilot stated that he completed his downwind, base-leg and final approach checks, which include landing gear down and locked. He proceeded with the landing and realised that the landing gear was not extended when the propeller started contacting the runway surface. After the aircraft came to rest on the runway, both occupants exited the aircraft with no injuries. The aircraft system gave no audio stall or gear unsafe warning and the pilot could not recall if the landing gear indication lights indicated green. PROBABLE CAUSE: The pilot did not extend the landing gear prior to landing and landed the aircraft with the landing gear retracted.
