The pilot and flight instructor were conducting takeoffs and landings in the airport traffic pattern when the incident occurred. The pilot stated that, during the incident landing, he lowered the landing gear selector handle while on the downwind traffic pattern leg, abeam the runway end. The pilot stated that he intended to execute a no-flap, full-stop landing and that, because he was concentrating on the no-flap landing, he might not have properly verified the landing gear position before landing. The pilots recalled hearing the landing gear aural warning as the airplane entered the landing flare with the engine power at idle. The airplane contacted the runway before a go-around could be initiated. The landing gear extension/retraction system and the landing gear position indicator lights operated normally during a postincident examination. During the examination, the landing gear aural warning system activated at a simulated airspeed of 100 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilots' failure to verify landing gear extension before landing.
