Narrative:

I was approaching roanoke on a 230 degree heading. Roanoke was landing runway 24, winds were light. I was 10 mi out and set up for a long final to runway 24, did my initial landing checklist and started slowly reducing power (turbo 210). At about 8 mi out, with no other apparent traffic, I was given a northwest heading for vectors for about 3-4 mi then turned back on another vector to the southeast, then cleared for visual to runway 24. At that point I had added power because of the vectors and as I did my second landing checklist, decided to hold the gear because of my speed and power settings. Once over the runway, I reduced power, started my flare and heard the gear warning horn. I immediately advanced the throttle to the full position to initiate a go around. The airplane climbed normally with no vibrations nor abnormal engine gauge readings. I was cleared for landing on runway 33, entered a downwind and executed a normal landing. Only when I shut the engine down was it apparent the propeller had struck the runway surface. The mistake made is under every changing event (vectors, power changes, etc). On the landing the pilot should review the landing checklist to confirm proper settings.

Title: PLT OF C210 STRIKES GND WITH PROP AFTER FORGETTING TO EXTEND LNDG GEAR DURING INTERRUPTED APCH PROC. INITIATED GAR UPON HEARING LNDG GEAR WARNING HORN, BUT NOT IN TIME TO AVOID PROP CONTACT WITH THE RWY.

Narrative: I WAS APCHING ROANOKE ON A 230 DEG HDG. ROANOKE WAS LNDG RWY 24, WINDS WERE LIGHT. I WAS 10 MI OUT AND SET UP FOR A LONG FINAL TO RWY 24, DID MY INITIAL LNDG CHKLIST AND STARTED SLOWLY REDUCING PWR (TURBO 210). AT ABOUT 8 MI OUT, WITH NO OTHER APPARENT TFC, I WAS GIVEN A NW HEADING FOR VECTORS FOR ABOUT 3-4 MI THEN TURNED BACK ON ANOTHER VECTOR TO THE SE, THEN CLRED FOR VISUAL TO RWY 24. AT THAT POINT I HAD ADDED PWR BECAUSE OF THE VECTORS AND AS I DID MY SECOND LNDG CHKLIST, DECIDED TO HOLD THE GEAR BECAUSE OF MY SPD AND PWR SETTINGS. ONCE OVER THE RWY, I REDUCED PWR, STARTED MY FLARE AND HEARD THE GEAR WARNING HORN. I IMMEDIATELY ADVANCED THE THROTTLE TO THE FULL POS TO INITIATE A GAR. THE AIRPLANE CLBED NORMALLY WITH NO VIBRATIONS NOR ABNORMAL ENG GAUGE READINGS. I WAS CLRED FOR LNDG ON RWY 33, ENTERED A DOWNWIND AND EXECUTED A NORMAL LNDG. ONLY WHEN I SHUT THE ENG DOWN WAS IT APPARENT THE PROP HAD STRUCK THE RWY SURFACE. THE MISTAKE MADE IS UNDER EVERY CHANGING EVENT (VECTORS, PWR CHANGES, ETC). ON THE LNDG THE PLT SHOULD REVIEW THE LNDG CHKLIST TO CONFIRM PROPER SETTINGS.
