Accident Details
A pilot was performing pattern work and executed a practice engine-out short approach. During the downwind leg, the pilot completed the GUMPS checklist and observed mowers near the runway. As the approach continued, the pilot's attention was divided among the aimpoint, airspeed, and the tractors adjacent to the runway. This divided attention led the pilot to fail to extend the landing gear.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that the airplane landed with the wheels retracted on the runway, resulting in substantial damage to the aircraft. The pilot also stated that no mechanical malfunctions were associated with the airplane during the accident flight.
Outcome
The airplane sustained substantial damage from the wheels-up landing. No injuries were reported, and the aircraft was not equipped with any known mechanical issues prior to the accident.
