Narrative:

During a biennial flight review, I requested the pilot to demonstrate a go around procedure which he did while on crosswind. The pilot was then instructed to make a full stop landing. The tower cleared us to land #2 behind a king air that was 1 1/2 mi out on final for runway 14. The traffic was spotted and the pilot proceeded to space the plane appropriately. On final approach, the flaps were deployed and the airplane landed. Prior to the landing, there was no gear warning indication. After the gear up landing. I asked the pilot where the microswitch was located and why we had no warning. He informed me the location of the switch was on the throttle. He also stated the airplane has had maintenance work performed in this area. Prior to departure we did not discuss whether the pilot was still current with his previous biennial flight review, therefore no mention of PIC. The pilot was the owner of the plane. In my opinion, failure to use a checklist and the distraction of arriving traffic appear to be the cause of the incident.

Title: DURING A BIENNIAL FLT REVIEW IN A CESSNA 210, THE PLT FORGOT TO LOWER THE LNDG GEAR FOR LNDG AND LANDED GEAR UP CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE ACFT.

Narrative: DURING A BIENNIAL FLT REVIEW, I REQUESTED THE PLT TO DEMONSTRATE A GAR PROC WHICH HE DID WHILE ON XWIND. THE PLT WAS THEN INSTRUCTED TO MAKE A FULL STOP LNDG. THE TWR CLRED US TO LAND #2 BEHIND A KING AIR THAT WAS 1 1/2 MI OUT ON FINAL FOR RWY 14. THE TFC WAS SPOTTED AND THE PLT PROCEEDED TO SPACE THE PLANE APPROPRIATELY. ON FINAL APCH, THE FLAPS WERE DEPLOYED AND THE AIRPLANE LANDED. PRIOR TO THE LNDG, THERE WAS NO GEAR WARNING INDICATION. AFTER THE GEAR UP LNDG. I ASKED THE PLT WHERE THE MICROSWITCH WAS LOCATED AND WHY WE HAD NO WARNING. HE INFORMED ME THE LOCATION OF THE SWITCH WAS ON THE THROTTLE. HE ALSO STATED THE AIRPLANE HAS HAD MAINT WORK PERFORMED IN THIS AREA. PRIOR TO DEP WE DID NOT DISCUSS WHETHER THE PLT WAS STILL CURRENT WITH HIS PREVIOUS BIENNIAL FLT REVIEW, THEREFORE NO MENTION OF PIC. THE PLT WAS THE OWNER OF THE PLANE. IN MY OPINION, FAILURE TO USE A CHECKLIST AND THE DISTR OF ARRIVING TFC APPEAR TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT.
