LANDING CHECKLIST WAS USED HOWEVER THE LANDING GEAR WAS NOT PUT DOWN THE DUE TO THE HIGH AIR SPEED AND DISTANCE FROM THE AIRPORT. THE PROP WAS MANUALLY CHANGED FROM THE CRUISE POSITION TO HIGH SPEED, BOOST PUMP TURNED ON, AND CHECKED THE SPOILER. ON THE LAST 400 FEET OF FINAL APPROACH, WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE TURBULENCE, THE PIC WAS CONCENTRATING ON MAINTAINING 110 KM AND MAINTAINING CENTERLINE. FLARE WAS PERFORMED FOR A WHEEL LANDING WITH LITTLE USE OF SPOILER AND ANTICIPATING FULL SPOILER AFTER TOUCHDOWN. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN AND THE PIC SAW THE PROPELLER ARC TURN WHITE WHEN THE PROP STRUCK THE GROUND AND REALIZED THE GEAR WAS UP, HE USED LEFT RUDDER TO STEER THE AIRCRAFT OFF THE RUNWAY SURFACE AND IN TO THE GRASS WHERE THE LEFT WING STRUCK A RUNWAY LIGHT.
