SMA LANDS GEAR UP.

Narrative

I WENT OUT TO THE ARPT FOR A SHORT PLEASURE FLT WITH A FRIEND. WE TOOK OFF AND FLEW AROUND THE LCL AREA FOR ABOUT 30 MIN. I CAME IN OVER MIDFIELD AND MADE A NORMAL TOUCH AND GO. THERE WAS A SMALL PLANE AHEAD OF ME. HE WAS SLOW AND MAKING A WIDE PATTERN. SO WIDE I COULD HAVE TURNED INSIDE HIS BASE LEG AND LANDED BEFORE HIM. I MADE A VERY WIDE AND LONG DOWNWIND AND BASE. THE CONCENTRATION ON THE OTHER PLANE TOOK MY MIND OFF OF MINE. WHEN I TURNED FINAL; THE PLANE HAD LANDED AND WAS STILL ROLLING DOWN THE RWY. I CALLED FINAL AND THEY WERE STILL ON THE RWY. I WAS AT THE POINT WHERE I WAS GOING TO GAR OR LAND; JUST AS I STARTED TO PUT THE PWR IN AND GAR; HE GOT OFF THE RWY. I COMMITTED TO LNDG BY PUTTING DOWN THE FLAPS; BUT FOR SOME REASON I DID NOT DO A 'GUMP' CHK. I ALWAYS DO A 'GUMP' CHK ON SHORT FINAL; BUT HIS TIME I DID NOT. BY THE TIME WE MADE CONTACT THERE WAS NOT ANY QUESTION WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT I NEEDED TO DO. WITHOUT THINKING MY REACTION WAS TO STEER THE AIRPLANE WITH THE RUDDERS TO A STOP; CUT OFF EVERYTHING AND GET OUT OF THE AIRPLANE. THERE IS ONE THING I WOULD TELL PEOPLE TO DO IN ALL PHASES OF FLT; TKOF CHKLIST; CRUISE CHKLIST; LNDG CHKLIST. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTION.
