What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
While executing a go around, the pilot advised the tower that he had no indication his gear was down. During the go around while downwind the pilot hand pumped his gear down and landed. It became apparent after the aircraft taxied to parking, that on his first attempt to land, the aircraft had struck the runway, causing damage to the aircraft. A search of the runway revealed an antenna, belly strobe light lens and relief tube laying on the runway. An inspection of the aircraft revealed that it is missing an antenna, strobe lens and relief tube from the belly. Also found all four propeller blades had contacted the runway during the go around. Both flaps were also found damaged due to scraping the runway during the go around.
