Narrative:

I was flying solo practicing for a flight review. I departed missoula; mt; and flew to st ignatius; where I did 6 lndgs (2 touch-and-goes; and 4 full stop). During this time I did not cycle the gear to save wear and tear. I was practicing short field approachs and the stall warning was on at each touchdown. After departing there I flew west toward perma; mt; to a private; paved landing strip and intended to do a touch-and-go there to check out the approach. I overflew one time and set up for the approach. I remember going through the checklist manually (gumps) and passing right over the gear portion still thinking the gear was still down. I had been dealing with the stall warning coming on during my previous lndgs. On the touchdown what I thought was the stall warning was in fact the gear warning and before I realized what was happening the tail touched down. I considered giving power and attempting to fly off as I could see the propeller had not yet touched; however; it was paved and I was concerned about not getting off and crashing at the end so I let the plane slide to a stop. I was unhurt in any way. FBO personnel came out with a crew and raised the plane; lowered the gear; installed a new propeller; obtained a ferry permit and flew the plane back to missoula for repair. I was told the damage was minor and the situation would probably be treated as an incident. During insurance discussion the adjuster pointed out that I was not current on my annual and my medical was past the 24 month period (I understood 36). Both situations are being remedied. In retrospect I can see how my mind worked and I bypassed that portion of the checklist and ignored the stall (gear) warning. However; there is no excuse for my complacency and not confirming that the gear was down and locked. It is by far the most humiliating event in my life. I am scheduling a flight review as soon as the plane is repaired and intend to proceed further with recurrency with my instrument rating.

Title: C210 PLT LANDS GEAR UP.

Narrative: I WAS FLYING SOLO PRACTICING FOR A FLT REVIEW. I DEPARTED MISSOULA; MT; AND FLEW TO ST IGNATIUS; WHERE I DID 6 LNDGS (2 TOUCH-AND-GOES; AND 4 FULL STOP). DURING THIS TIME I DID NOT CYCLE THE GEAR TO SAVE WEAR AND TEAR. I WAS PRACTICING SHORT FIELD APCHS AND THE STALL WARNING WAS ON AT EACH TOUCHDOWN. AFTER DEPARTING THERE I FLEW W TOWARD PERMA; MT; TO A PVT; PAVED LNDG STRIP AND INTENDED TO DO A TOUCH-AND-GO THERE TO CHK OUT THE APCH. I OVERFLEW ONE TIME AND SET UP FOR THE APCH. I REMEMBER GOING THROUGH THE CHKLIST MANUALLY (GUMPS) AND PASSING RIGHT OVER THE GEAR PORTION STILL THINKING THE GEAR WAS STILL DOWN. I HAD BEEN DEALING WITH THE STALL WARNING COMING ON DURING MY PREVIOUS LNDGS. ON THE TOUCHDOWN WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE STALL WARNING WAS IN FACT THE GEAR WARNING AND BEFORE I REALIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENING THE TAIL TOUCHED DOWN. I CONSIDERED GIVING PWR AND ATTEMPTING TO FLY OFF AS I COULD SEE THE PROP HAD NOT YET TOUCHED; HOWEVER; IT WAS PAVED AND I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT NOT GETTING OFF AND CRASHING AT THE END SO I LET THE PLANE SLIDE TO A STOP. I WAS UNHURT IN ANY WAY. FBO PERSONNEL CAME OUT WITH A CREW AND RAISED THE PLANE; LOWERED THE GEAR; INSTALLED A NEW PROP; OBTAINED A FERRY PERMIT AND FLEW THE PLANE BACK TO MISSOULA FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THE DAMAGE WAS MINOR AND THE SITUATION WOULD PROBABLY BE TREATED AS AN INCIDENT. DURING INSURANCE DISCUSSION THE ADJUSTER POINTED OUT THAT I WAS NOT CURRENT ON MY ANNUAL AND MY MEDICAL WAS PAST THE 24 MONTH PERIOD (I UNDERSTOOD 36). BOTH SITUATIONS ARE BEING REMEDIED. IN RETROSPECT I CAN SEE HOW MY MIND WORKED AND I BYPASSED THAT PORTION OF THE CHKLIST AND IGNORED THE STALL (GEAR) WARNING. HOWEVER; THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR MY COMPLACENCY AND NOT CONFIRMING THAT THE GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED. IT IS BY FAR THE MOST HUMILIATING EVENT IN MY LIFE. I AM SCHEDULING A FLT REVIEW AS SOON AS THE PLANE IS REPAIRED AND INTEND TO PROCEED FURTHER WITH RECURRENCY WITH MY INST RATING.
