A flight instructor and a student pilot onboard a Mooney M20F aircraft with registration ZS-EMH took off on a training flight from New Tempe Aerodrome (FATP) to the general flying area (GFA). The flight was conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). During the return from the GFA whilst performing a landing on Runway 01, the duo did not lower the undercarriage and the aircraft landed on its belly and skidded for some distance before coming to stop. This resulted in the propeller striking the ground.
Probable Cause
The landing gear lever was not extended during landing, which led to a belly landing.
Contributing Factors
The student pilot did not complete the downwind checks as per the POH.
Lack of supervision by the instructor.
