Narrative:
Captain and sic (second in command) departed in a C208 amphibian; with no passengers. Aircraft arrived for a right downwind for ft. Lauderdale international 10R and was second in line following a 700 series jet. On short final; tower cleared an A320 for take-off and immediately directed a go-around. Sic had the flight controls and added power and raised the flaps for the go-around. Captain raised the gear. Aircraft went through wake turbulence and then made a right crosswind for 10R. Sic turned downwind and added flaps; then right base; then final; with 30 degrees of flaps. Aircraft was landing again behind a jet and was cautioned clear to land; caution wake turbulence. When aircraft touched down; it smoothly slid on the runway. When stopped; captain asked sic to check and see if there was a flat tire. Sic looked at the indicator outside the aircraft; and there was a blue dot in the landing configuration; which indicates a water landing. Sic told captain they had landed gear up. Sic and captain got out and checked the aircraft for damage. No damage was found. Sic and captain contacted for help and were able to jack the aircraft up and mechanically drop the gear. The aircraft was then towed to the hangar for further inspection.
