Narrative:
While making touch-and-go practice takeoff and lndgs, both propellers struck the ground. The gear unsafe light came on at the time the gear was raised during the previous takeoff. The gear had to be cycled several times before the light was extinguished. A normal approach was made and during the flare, I heard a scraping sound. I immediately applied power and pitched the nose up. I then moved the gear lever up and raised the flaps. I continued the go around and cycled the gear down and made a normal landing. When I stopped the engines at the ramp, I noticed both propellers were curled on the end and the LORAN antenna was damaged. The cause was fixation with landing gear problem and an inoperative gear horn.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: PLT PRACTICING TOUCH-AND-GO LNDGS HAS GEAR PROB WHICH CAUSES PROP STRIKE.
Narrative: WHILE MAKING TOUCH-AND-GO PRACTICE TKOF AND LNDGS, BOTH PROPS STRUCK THE GND. THE GEAR UNSAFE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE TIME THE GEAR WAS RAISED DURING THE PREVIOUS TKOF. THE GEAR HAD TO BE CYCLED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE LIGHT WAS EXTINGUISHED. A NORMAL APCH WAS MADE AND DURING THE FLARE, I HEARD A SCRAPING SOUND. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED PWR AND PITCHED THE NOSE UP. I THEN MOVED THE GEAR LEVER UP AND RAISED THE FLAPS. I CONTINUED THE GAR AND CYCLED THE GEAR DOWN AND MADE A NORMAL LNDG. WHEN I STOPPED THE ENGS AT THE RAMP, I NOTICED BOTH PROPS WERE CURLED ON THE END AND THE LORAN ANTENNA WAS DAMAGED. THE CAUSE WAS FIXATION WITH LNDG GEAR PROB AND AN INOP GEAR HORN.
