The instructor told an FAA inspector that he and his commercial-rated student had been in the pattern doing landings. He further stated that they came in "a little fast and when we touched down we ballooned." The pilot receiving instruction stated that "we were doing landings and approached a little fast and when the airplane touched down, we ballooned back into the air...the instructor was yelling at me and in the confusion I was not exactly sure what the instructor was saying." When the airplane touched down a second time, the right main and nose landing gear collapsed, and the propellers hit the runway. The flight instructor stated that "the student is believed to have inadvertently moved the gear selector switch from the down position to the up position causing the landing gear to retract."
Probable Cause: inadvertent retraction of the landing gear by the pilot rated student during landing roll. A contributing factors was the failure of the instructor to adequately supervise the student.
