Narrative:
The 11,623-hour certificated flight instructor (CFI) reported that during a simulated engine out landing, the 6,727-hour pilot receiving instruction failed to extend the landing gear prior to landing. While on the downwind leg of the approach, the pilot was practicing and inoperative engine procedure which diverted his attention. The CFI stated that as power was reduced on final approach for landing, the aural gear warning horn sounded and "it was doubtful that a go-around could have been initiated successfully," and power was reduced to idle on both engines and landed gear up.

Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to extend the landing gear prior to landing and the instructor's inadequate supervision.
