Narrative:
Gear up landing as a result of gear failure. Gear was determined to be a problem when departing airport; gear handle moved to up position; gear failed to retract; gear lights indicated gear in transit. Poh was referred to for gear failing to retract; to no avail. Poh was referred to for manual gear extension; procedure followed; to no avail. Other aircraft in the area confirmed that the main gear was 'in trail'; neither up nor down; and that it appeared the nose gear was down. After attempting the manual gear extension procedure numerous times; and maneuvering the aircraft in an attempt to extend the gear; it was determined that the gear could not be extended. Tower was notified of the problem; and a gear up landing was briefed as per poh. Successful landing was made. Aircraft sustained minimal damage; both pilots were unharmed. Preflight action on the part of both pilots indicated no visible issues with the gear system prior to flight.
