Narrative:

During a multi-engine training session; the landing gear was not lowered prior to landing. As the BE76 approached the glide slope; a simulated engine failure was given to the student. As expected the student configured the airplane with gear and flaps up. The approach continued past the glide slope interception and the landing check was not accomplished by the student or the instructor. Upon approaching the da the approach was to be conducted to a full stop landing with a single engine. Near the ground (runway) I heard a scratchy sound; alerting me that the landing gear was not down. An immediate go around was initiated by me (instructor); preventing the full gear up landing. Then we returned to investigate the extent of the damage. In my opinion the incident was caused by the failure of the student to follow procedure and also the instructor's failure to correct the student. The procedures are as follows: 1. After receiving an intercept course for the ILS localizer; student should reduce speed to 110 (indicated as) and lower flaps to 10 degrees. 2. Prior to intercepting the glide slope landing gear is lower and the first gump (gas-boost pump on; undercarriage-down; mixture-forward; prop-forward) check is performed. If an engine failure occurred; however landing gear and flaps are brought up and the aircraft is clean of any drag. However; after landing is assured and aircraft's performances is sufficient; landing gear and flaps can be lowered after passing glide slope intercept and a final gump check is performed. What can be done to improve or to minimize the risk on this flight? 1. Follow procedures established by the school. 2. Ensure that the instructor enforces procedures.

Title: A BE76 Instructor Pilot initiated a Go Around during a single engine practice landing when he heard the aircraft skin contact the runway. The Student Pilot failed to lower the landing gear earlier in the approach.
