Narrative:

Aircraft was vectored to follow traffic visually for downwind and final. During final approach, traffic landing crossing runway was brought to our attention. We were asked to follow that traffic to the crossing runway. Our speed had been asked to be reduced continuously and we were at vref +5 to +10 and elected to continue on runway already assigned for landing. Approach was continued for landing. During landing flare, we realized the gear was not down and initiated go around and returned for landing. We inspected aircraft and found no damage to aircraft. Returned to base and maintenance and found minor damage to aluminum inboard flap fairings, not visible in the retracted position. Possible causes: 1) numerous ATC and visual distrs during approach and final landing phases. 2) reduction of aircraft to its minimum approach speed while also required us to maintain visual with other aircraft. 3) failure of crew to recognize a situation going bad, and complacency of crew with each other and checklist discipline being weak. Both capts counting on the other to confirm checklist completion.

Title: FLC OF AN ATX ACFT FAIL TO FOLLOW THE TWR'S INSTRUCTIONS FOR A RWY CHANGE. DISTR WITH THE APCH AND OTHER ACFT THEY FORGET TO LOWER THEIR GEAR AND GAR AFTER THEY HAD DRAGGED THE LOWER PORTION OF THEIR FLAPS ON THE RWY.

Narrative: ACFT WAS VECTORED TO FOLLOW TFC VISUALLY FOR DOWNWIND AND FINAL. DURING FINAL APCH, TFC LNDG XING RWY WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTN. WE WERE ASKED TO FOLLOW THAT TFC TO THE XING RWY. OUR SPD HAD BEEN ASKED TO BE REDUCED CONTINUOUSLY AND WE WERE AT VREF +5 TO +10 AND ELECTED TO CONTINUE ON RWY ALREADY ASSIGNED FOR LNDG. APCH WAS CONTINUED FOR LNDG. DURING LNDG FLARE, WE REALIZED THE GEAR WAS NOT DOWN AND INITIATED GAR AND RETURNED FOR LNDG. WE INSPECTED ACFT AND FOUND NO DAMAGE TO ACFT. RETURNED TO BASE AND MAINT AND FOUND MINOR DAMAGE TO ALUMINUM INBOARD FLAP FAIRINGS, NOT VISIBLE IN THE RETRACTED POS. POSSIBLE CAUSES: 1) NUMEROUS ATC AND VISUAL DISTRS DURING APCH AND FINAL LNDG PHASES. 2) REDUCTION OF ACFT TO ITS MINIMUM APCH SPD WHILE ALSO REQUIRED US TO MAINTAIN VISUAL WITH OTHER ACFT. 3) FAILURE OF CREW TO RECOGNIZE A SIT GOING BAD, AND COMPLACENCY OF CREW WITH EACH OTHER AND CHKLIST DISCIPLINE BEING WEAK. BOTH CAPTS COUNTING ON THE OTHER TO CONFIRM CHKLIST COMPLETION.
