GEAR UP LNDG IN A PA34 SENECA DURING A SIMULATED 1 ENG OP APCH TRAINING FLT AT A NON TWR ARPT; N14; NJ.

Narrative

I WAS GIVING FLT INSTRUCTION FOR MY MULTI-ENG STUDENT. WE WERE SIMULATING ENG-OUT LNDGS. I PULLED THE THROTTLE BACK ON XWIND. ON DOWNWIND; MY STUDENT PUT DOWN THE GEAR AS PART OF HIS PRELNDG CHKLIST. SOMEWHERE BTWN BASE AND FINAL HE BROUGHT THE GEAR BACK UP. I FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS AND WE PROCEEDED TO LAND. NEITHER OF US HEARD THE GEAR UP WARNING HORN; SO THERE WAS NO WARNING UNTIL THERE WAS A RADIO CALL RIGHT BEFORE WE TOUCHED DOWN ON THE RWY. WE TOUCHED DOWN AND SLID TO A STOP ON THE RWY. I CUT OFF THE FUEL; AND INSTRUCTED MY STUDENT TO SHUT THE MASTER SWITCH OFF. THERE WAS MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE ACFT AND NO PERSONAL INJURIES. I THINK THAT THE INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY A LARGE NUMBER OF THINGS HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME. AN ENG-OUT SIT; A POOR APCH; AND TROUBLE ON FINAL CAUSED BOTH OF US TO BE VERY BUSY DURING THE FINAL APCH; AND MISS THE GEAR-UP SIT. SINCE NEITHER OF US HEARD THE GEAR-UP WARNING HORN; A POSSIBLE UNTIMELY FAILURE OF A GEAR WARNING SYS MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO CREATE THE INCIDENT. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 552534: ON DOWNWIND; I PUT DOWN THE GEAR AS PART OF MY PRELNDG CHKLIST. I THEN HAD TO BRING IT BACK UP BECAUSE I WAS LOSING ALT TOO RAPIDLY. WHEN I TURNED TO FINAL; I WAS TOO HIGH AND TOO FAST. AS I WAS TRYING TO CORRECT FOR THAT; I FORGOT TO RE-EXTEND THE LNDG GEAR. THE INSTRUCTOR WAS ALSO TRYING TO ASSIST ME WITH THE LNDG. ON FINAL; WE BOTH FORGOT TO CHK THE GEAR INDICATOR LIGHTS.
