## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: WHILE LANDING BOTH PROPELLERS STRUCK THE RUNWAY BEFORE THE PILOT EXECUTED A GO-AROUND. ALTHOUGH THE PILOT AND PASSENGER STATED THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS DOWN AND THREE GREEN LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED A POST-INCIDENT INSPECTION OF THE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM DID NOT INDICATE ANY ANOMALIES. ADDITIONALLY, THE AIRCRAFT'S SUBSEQUENT LANDING AFTER THE GO-AROUND DEMONSTRATED THE LANDING GEAR OPERATED NORMALLY. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ THIS INCIDENT IS CLOSED.
