Narrative:

Departed lou and flew direct naab, shot a practice VOR/DME approach VFR to ims runway 3. Upon arriving ims I proceeded to execute 9 perfect lndgs (full stop) using all the prescribed techniques, wheels up, wheels down, gump check, etc. Returning to naab and departed on the 248 degree radial. At approximately 12 NM from aab I called jvy unicom for TA and active runway, they replied 3 in the pattern touch and goes, winds 035/5 active runway 36. I proceeded toward iiu approximately 150 degrees, knowing this would put me right of left downwind jvy runway 36. After turning 150 degrees I slowed the plane (12/25) the gear horn sounded, I added 10 degrees flaps and returned power to (18/25) approximately 100 KTS, gear horn stopped, airspeed slowed to 90 KTS, arriving at jvy I announced my presence to the pattern traffic and proceeded to look for traffic, I found 1 plane, short final, a second was upwind 36, the third was nowhere in sight. While looking for #3 I turned base and final, added 30 degrees of flaps and trimmed for descent, if the gear horn went off I didn't hear it. Was I preoccupied with traffic? Did the preceding repetitious lndgs lead me to think the wheels were down? Wheels up landing jvy runway 36. Corrective action, add one more step to landing checklist i.e. Put hand on gear lever while on short final.

Title: SMA PRACTICING TOUCH AND GOES, RETURNS HOME BASE LANDS GEAR UP.

Narrative: DEPARTED LOU AND FLEW DIRECT NAAB, SHOT A PRACTICE VOR/DME APCH VFR TO IMS RWY 3. UPON ARRIVING IMS I PROCEEDED TO EXECUTE 9 PERFECT LNDGS (FULL STOP) USING ALL THE PRESCRIBED TECHNIQUES, WHEELS UP, WHEELS DOWN, GUMP CHK, ETC. RETURNING TO NAAB AND DEPARTED ON THE 248 DEG RADIAL. AT APPROX 12 NM FROM AAB I CALLED JVY UNICOM FOR TA AND ACTIVE RWY, THEY REPLIED 3 IN THE PATTERN TOUCH AND GOES, WINDS 035/5 ACTIVE RWY 36. I PROCEEDED TOWARD IIU APPROX 150 DEGS, KNOWING THIS WOULD PUT ME R OF L DOWNWIND JVY RWY 36. AFTER TURNING 150 DEGS I SLOWED THE PLANE (12/25) THE GEAR HORN SOUNDED, I ADDED 10 DEGS FLAPS AND RETURNED PWR TO (18/25) APPROX 100 KTS, GEAR HORN STOPPED, AIRSPD SLOWED TO 90 KTS, ARRIVING AT JVY I ANNOUNCED MY PRESENCE TO THE PATTERN TFC AND PROCEEDED TO LOOK FOR TFC, I FOUND 1 PLANE, SHORT FINAL, A SECOND WAS UPWIND 36, THE THIRD WAS NOWHERE IN SIGHT. WHILE LOOKING FOR #3 I TURNED BASE AND FINAL, ADDED 30 DEGS OF FLAPS AND TRIMMED FOR DSCNT, IF THE GEAR HORN WENT OFF I DIDN'T HEAR IT. WAS I PREOCCUPIED WITH TFC? DID THE PRECEDING REPETITIOUS LNDGS LEAD ME TO THINK THE WHEELS WERE DOWN? WHEELS UP LNDG JVY RWY 36. CORRECTIVE ACTION, ADD ONE MORE STEP TO LNDG CHKLIST I.E. PUT HAND ON GEAR LEVER WHILE ON SHORT FINAL.
