Wheels up landing involving a Beech Aircraft Corp 58, VH-FMR, Caloundra, (ALA), QLD on 9 January 1996

The instructor pilot reported that IFR recency training was being conducted with an experienced airline pilot. During a circling approach in the Caloundra circling area following an instrument approach at Maroochydore, the heavy workload generated by the procedures and additional IFR traffic in the area distracted both pilots, and resulted in failure to lower the gear before landing.
