Narrative:

I was told to report downwind. I heard another plane making an approach and one making touch and go lndgs. My next report was 2 mi south center of the runway, turning downwind, and the tower was clearing the plane making touch and go's to land. After I reported, the sequence was changed and I was cleared to make short approach. I never saw the other 2 planes. I thought that I had put the gear down and reached for the flaps. I was busy looking for the other planes and concentrating on the runway. I made an excellent approach to the center of the runway. With my earphones on I could hear the horn, but I always hear the stall horn on landing. Then I heard the metal scrape. I should have put the gear down 5 mi out to complete my checklist. This would stop the confusion in the traffic pattern.

Title: GEAR UP LNDG.

Narrative: I WAS TOLD TO RPT DOWNWIND. I HEARD ANOTHER PLANE MAKING AN APCH AND ONE MAKING TOUCH AND GO LNDGS. MY NEXT RPT WAS 2 MI S CENTER OF THE RWY, TURNING DOWNWIND, AND THE TWR WAS CLRING THE PLANE MAKING TOUCH AND GO'S TO LAND. AFTER I RPTED, THE SEQUENCE WAS CHANGED AND I WAS CLRED TO MAKE SHORT APCH. I NEVER SAW THE OTHER 2 PLANES. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD PUT THE GEAR DOWN AND REACHED FOR THE FLAPS. I WAS BUSY LOOKING FOR THE OTHER PLANES AND CONCENTRATING ON THE RWY. I MADE AN EXCELLENT APCH TO THE CENTER OF THE RWY. WITH MY EARPHONES ON I COULD HEAR THE HORN, BUT I ALWAYS HEAR THE STALL HORN ON LNDG. THEN I HEARD THE METAL SCRAPE. I SHOULD HAVE PUT THE GEAR DOWN 5 MI OUT TO COMPLETE MY CHKLIST. THIS WOULD STOP THE CONFUSION IN THE TFC PATTERN.
