| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
After an uneventful 1.5 hour on-demand air taxi flight, the pilot made a wheels up landing. He reported that during the flare, he realized that the gear was not extended. He attempted to execute a 'go-around', but was too late as the right propeller contacted the runway surface. Subsequently, the left propeller contacted the runway, and the aircraft 'skipped down the runway', went through grass, and impacted a hangar.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to extend the landing gear. A factor relating to the accident was: the pilot's failure to follow the landing checklist.
