Narrative:

Monday morning I took off from des moines, iowa. Nice VFR morning. Started my descent to moline airport, il, around XY00 am. About 3 mi out I did a really quick 'gumps' check. I was looking around for other airplanes and tower cleared me to land about 2 mi out. Didn't do a second 'gumps' check and put my 3 degrees KTS of flaps in and reduced power to less than 12 inches of manifold pressure. When I flared I realized my landing gear was not down but at that moment the propeller hit the runway. The cause was that I was too relaxed. The air taxi company I work for let me do their longest run. A 13 hour duty time a day and worked 10 of the last 14 days 12 hours. Had sunday off but because of personal things that weekend I didn't get much sleep. Fatigue was existing at the time of the incident and I think was the cause of this incident. To prevent this you should always use a checklist even though you landed or went through the checklist procedures hundreds of times and especially on VFR days with the winds calm and 10 plus mi visibility.
