Narrative:
A Diamond DA42 Twin Star, ZS-TDI, made a gear up landing at runway 07 at Lanseria International Airport (HLA/FALA), Gauteng.
Both occupants were not injured.

Probable Cause(s)
The pilots omitted to extend the landing gear during the landing phase.

Contributing Factor(s)
• High workload and time pressure due to the ATC’s request to fly a shorten approach for landing.
• The crew disregarded the warning horn in the aircraft.
• Inadequate Crew Resource Management (CRM): lack of defined roles and mutual verification of checklist action items led to a breakdown in standard operating procedures.
