Probable cause
The landing gear extension was not performed by the pilot for landing. Contributing factors included the pilot's failure to perform the Before Landing checklist and his unfamiliarity with the landing gear warning horn system.

Read the full NTSB narrative
On the second of two practice instrument approaches the aircraft was cleared for a touch and go landing. The pilot said he was still in a "instrument approach mindset", did not perform the Before Landing checklist, and failed to lower the landing gear. The pilot also said he didn't hear the landing gear warning horn, and that he didn't even know the aircraft had one. Subsequent examination of the landing gear warning horn system indicated there were no anomalies with the system which would have prevented normal operation. The aircraft landed wheels up and slid to a stop, coming to rest in an upright position.
