Narrative:
Establish inbound, maintaining 600 ft for the final approach. At the time I had in my mind, checklist before landing to be executed at the initial approach fix (IAF). I had electric full pumps on, full propellers, full mixture at the IAF but forgot to put gear down, as I was talking to pbi approach controller, so he would let me change frequency to lna CTAF as I was already 1/4 mi over runway 15. So I canceled IFR flight plan and stayed on the CTAF frequency. With all these things happening, I got distracted and I did not hear the warning buzzer as my head sets don't let me hear. I was landing and I felt like something was wrong with the front gear and didn't realize at the time it was the tips of the propellers hitting the runway. So I tried to go around and I put throttle full forward. At this moment I saw the warning light and heard the buzzer on the gear control knob. Then I realized the plane had started to roll to the left, I pwred back with controls full forward and settled the plane down. No body was injured and no fire started.

Title: INADVERTENT GEAR UP LNDG.
Narrative: ESTABLISH INBOUND, MAINTAINING 600 FT FOR THE FINAL APCH. AT THE TIME I HAD IN MY MIND, CHKLIST BEFORE LNDG TO BE EXECUTED AT THE INITIAL APCH FIX (IAF). I HAD ELECTRIC FULL PUMPS ON, FULL PROPS, FULL MIXTURE AT THE IAF BUT FORGOT TO PUT GEAR DOWN, AS I WAS TALKING TO PBI APCH CTLR, SO HE WOULD LET ME CHANGE FREQ TO LNA CTAF AS I WAS ALREADY 1/4 MI OVER RWY 15. SO I CANCELED IFR FLT PLAN AND STAYED ON THE CTAF FREQ. WITH ALL THESE THINGS HAPPENING, I GOT DISTRACTED AND I DID NOT HEAR THE WARNING BUZZER AS MY HEAD SETS DON'T LET ME HEAR. I WAS LNDG AND I FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE FRONT GEAR AND DIDN'T REALIZE AT THE TIME IT WAS THE TIPS OF THE PROPS HITTING THE RWY. SO I TRIED TO GAR AND I PUT THROTTLE FULL FORWARD. AT THIS MOMENT I SAW THE WARNING LIGHT AND HEARD THE BUZZER ON THE GEAR CTL KNOB. THEN I REALIZED THE PLANE HAD STARTED TO ROLL TO THE L, I PWRED BACK WITH CTLS FULL FORWARD AND SETTLED THE PLANE DOWN. NO BODY WAS INJURED AND NO FIRE STARTED.
