Narrative:
I am a CFI and the owner of the aircraft was flying. He had just bought the aircraft and the insurance required him to get, I think, 5 hours in it with a CFI. He already had the complex/high performance checks in his logbook. We were doing touch and goes at a non twred airport. He was flying and saying aloud his gump check on approach. I was looking out for traffic and at the windsock, I made the mistake of not double checking the gear indicator and making sure he put it down. The gear was not down and the airplane landed on its belly. I have always considered myself a very cautious person and pilot. I've learned to double check myself and others, no matter who I'm flying with. Also, when I'm giving instruction the person will be required to put their hand on the control while they say the check aloud.

Narrative: I AM A CFI AND THE OWNER OF THE ACFT WAS FLYING. HE HAD JUST BOUGHT THE ACFT AND THE INSURANCE REQUIRED HIM TO GET, I THINK, 5 HRS IN IT WITH A CFI. HE ALREADY HAD THE COMPLEX/HIGH PERFORMANCE CHKS IN HIS LOGBOOK. WE WERE DOING TOUCH AND GOES AT A NON TWRED ARPT. HE WAS FLYING AND SAYING ALOUD HIS GUMP CHK ON APCH. I WAS LOOKING OUT FOR TFC AND AT THE WINDSOCK, I MADE THE MISTAKE OF NOT DOUBLE CHKING THE GEAR INDICATOR AND MAKING SURE HE PUT IT DOWN. THE GEAR WAS NOT DOWN AND THE AIRPLANE LANDED ON ITS BELLY. I HAVE ALWAYS CONSIDERED MYSELF A VERY CAUTIOUS PERSON AND PLT. I'VE LEARNED TO DOUBLE CHK MYSELF AND OTHERS, NO MATTER WHO I'M FLYING WITH. ALSO, WHEN I'M GIVING INSTRUCTION THE PERSON WILL BE REQUIRED TO PUT THEIR HAND ON THE CTL WHILE THEY SAY THE CHK ALOUD.
