Narrative:

Frg CTAF was contacted approximately 10 NM east of frg at 2500 ft MSL when authority/authorized frequency change by ny approach while departing isp class C airspace. Upon initial TA request over CTAF, piper cherokee in traffic pattern performing touch and goes at frg advised runway 32 in use. With cherokee in sight and no other aircraft visible or reported in traffic pattern, a pattern entry 45 degrees to a right downwind runway 32, frg, was executed and advised over CTAF. Pre-landing checklist was commenced abeam runway threshold, power was reduced. Convinced landing checklist was complete, landing was attempted and aircraft contacted runway surface with landing gear up, sliding to a stop just right of centerline and approximately abeam taxiway D1, runway 32 intersection, at frg. Airport rescue services were on the scene immediately, I self announced over CTAF disabled aircraft on runway 32, so aircraft in pattern would not attempt landing, cherokee acknowledged. With the assistance of airport rescue services the airplane was lifted with inflatable bladders onto a dolly and towed to local FBO, frg. Aircraft damage consists of bent propeller blades, worn inboard flap corners, and scraped paint on forward underside of fuselage. No report to NTSB required.
