## Narrative

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

PILOT SAID AIRCRAFT HAD A HISTORY OF IMPROPER INDICATION.  PILOT STATED HE THOUGHT THIS WAS ANOTHER IMPROPER INDICATION AND CONTINUED WITH LANDING.  THE LANDING GEAR WAS NOT EXTENDED CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO CONTACT THE RUNWAY CAUSING A PROPELLER STRIKE AND VERY LITTLE DAMAGE TO BOTTOM OF AIRCRAFT.
