Read the full NTSB narrative

The certificated private pilot was conducting several touch and go landings. On the fourth landing, the tower controller requested that the pilot continue the downwind portion of the landing approach. The pilot said that due to the landing pattern change, he was distracted from his normal procedures, and did not extend the landing gear. The pilot said he was running the engine about 2,000 RPM to make a crosswind landing, and the airplane's landing gear horn operates below 1,700 RPM.
