What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The aircraft was returning to K29D following a parachute operation from 14,500 feet above MSL. This was the fourth drop of the day for the airmen. The commerical certificated pilot on decent from a magnetic 240 degree run joined a wide left downwind leg from a 45 degree entry for runway 28. Decending rapidly. While on the downwind leg abeam the runway 28 threshold the pilot stated he intended to advance the throttles but inadvertently advanced the prop levers. The airmen continued the base and final legs only utilizing approach flaps. While on the final approach he noted the airspeed was a little excessive and brought the throttles to flight idle. In the flare he felt and knew immediately what had occurred and proceeded to land with the gear not extended. The first point of contact with the runway surface was made by the right engine propeller at approximently 600 feet from the runway 28 threshold just right of centerline with the contact of the left engine propeller following approximently five feet beyond just left of the runway centerline. The airframe made contact with the runway surface at the runway aiming point slightly left of center line. The aircraft traveled down the centerline coming to a final stop just beyond the midfield taxiway on a magnetic 278 degree heading. The pilot exited the aircraft via the cabin entry door without injury.

THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNING TO K29D FOLLOWING A PARACHUTE OPERATION FROM 14,500 FEET ABOVE MSL. THIS WAS THE FOURTH DROP OF THE DAY FOR THE AIRMEN. THE COMMERICAL CERTIFICATED PILOT ON DECENT FROM A MAGNETIC 240 DEGREE RUN JOINED A WIDE LEFT DOWNWIND LEG FROM A 45 DEGREE ENTRY FOR RUNWAY 28. DECENDING RAPIDLY. WHILE ON THE DOWNWIND LEG ABEAM THE RUNWAY 28 THRESHOLD THE PILOT STATED HE INTENDED TO ADVANCE THE THROTTLES BUT INADVERTENTLY ADVANCED THE PROP LEVERS. THE AIRMEN CONTINUED THE BASE AND FINAL LEGS ONLY UTILIZING APPROACH FLAPS. WHILE ON THE FINAL APPROACH HE NOTED THE AIRSPEED WAS A LITTLE EXCESSIVE AND BROUGHT THE THROTTLES TO FLIGHT IDLE. IN THE FLARE HE FELT AND KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT HAD OCCURRED AND PROCEEDED TO LAND WITH THE GEAR NOT EXTENDED. THE FIRST POINT OF CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY SURFACE WAS MADE BY THE RIGHT ENGINE PROPELLER AT APPROXIMENTLY 600 FEET FROM THE RUNWAY 28 THRESHOLD JUST RIGHT OF CENTERLINE WITH THE CONTACT OF THE LEFT ENGINE PROPELLER FOLLOWING APPROXIMENTLY FIVE FEET BEYOND JUST LEFT OF THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE. THE AIRFRAME MADE CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY SURFACE AT THE RUNWAY AIMING POINT SLIGHTLY LEFT OF CENTER LINE. THE AIRCRAFT TRAVELED DOWN THE CENTERLINE COMING TO A FINAL STOP JUST BEYOND THE MIDFIELD TAXIWAY ON A MAGNETIC 278 DEGREE HEADING. THE PILOT EXITED THE AIRCRAFT VIA THE CABIN ENTRY DOOR WITHOUT INJURY.
