Narrative:
I flew over the airport of 49R 500' above tpa to observe wind direction and runway conditions. I observed the winds to be from the east so I elected to land to the north considering the terrain and wind direction. I began the approach, upon turning base I heard the stall warning sound, I contributed it to the turbulence we were experiencing, airspeed ok. Turned final above glide path at his point the aircraft descent rate increased rapidly stall warning again recovered on glide path and ground speed increased noticeably. I responded by pushing the nose over to try and salvage the landing. At a point approximately 50' AGL, I determined we would not have enough runway. I responded by pulling the nose up propellers forward and gear up. We experienced a down draft which resulted in both propellers to strike the runway. I went around and landed successfully. No one injured or extremely alarmed. Factors: wind shear, gear up too soon, fatigue, change in wind direction.

Title: ON GO AROUND FOLLOWING AN UNSTABLED APCH THE PROPS OF CHARTER SMT HIT THE RWY. GO AROUND CONTINUED TO SUCCESSFUL LNDG.
Narrative: I FLEW OVER THE ARPT OF 49R 500' ABOVE TPA TO OBSERVE WIND DIRECTION AND RWY CONDITIONS. I OBSERVED THE WINDS TO BE FROM THE E SO I ELECTED TO LAND TO THE N CONSIDERING THE TERRAIN AND WIND DIRECTION. I BEGAN THE APCH, UPON TURNING BASE I HEARD THE STALL WARNING SOUND, I CONTRIBUTED IT TO THE TURB WE WERE EXPERIENCING, AIRSPD OK. TURNED FINAL ABOVE GLIDE PATH AT HIS POINT THE ACFT DSNT RATE INCREASED RAPIDLY STALL WARNING AGAIN RECOVERED ON GLIDE PATH AND GND SPD INCREASED NOTICEABLY. I RESPONDED BY PUSHING THE NOSE OVER TO TRY AND SALVAGE THE LNDG. AT A POINT APPROX 50' AGL, I DETERMINED WE WOULD NOT HAVE ENOUGH RWY. I RESPONDED BY PULLING THE NOSE UP PROPS FORWARD AND GEAR UP. WE EXPERIENCED A DOWN DRAFT WHICH RESULTED IN BOTH PROPS TO STRIKE THE RWY. I WENT AROUND AND LANDED SUCCESSFULLY. NO ONE INJURED OR EXTREMELY ALARMED. FACTORS: WIND SHEAR, GEAR UP TOO SOON, FATIGUE, CHANGE IN WIND DIRECTION.
