Didn't want to ruin TX's original thread, so here we are, part II of CFIs can't land.

Today, one of UND's Seminoles landed gear up at GFK... A CFI was on board as well as a UND student.

Now, i have not heard the official story from UND, so i'm just making assumptions... but as far as i heard, the aircraft was not suffering any failures to it's landing gear system prior to landing. Heck, the gear was even cycled with no problems back in the Mx hanger after it was dragged off the runway.

...so i guess someone just forgot to make the "Gears down - Three Greens" call... and neglected to care for the sirens that came on when the power is pulled to idle w/ gears up, and still commited to landing.
