Narrative:

About the time I reached jli; palm springs handed me off to sd approach. Sd approach mentioned that a haze layer was coming in; and the aircraft ahead of me had difficulty locating montgomery field; and would I like him to give me vectors? I advised him that I had the ATIS information; and would appreciate his assistance. I had already entered myf in the GPS; but any help is always appreciated. At about 10 mi out; I saw the ILS swing in; and I was dead center; and on GS. The controller advised me of parallel traffic; a helicopter; and passed me off to the tower. I'm looking for the traffic at my 9 O'clock position; and waiting for the landing lights to break through the scattered haze layer. I switch from approach to tower frequency; and they advise me of traffic to my left; and I am slowing the aircraft down; bringing in flaps; looking for traffic; see the airport right where it should be; identify the VASI and my alignment; look for traffic; check alignment; speed good; on centerline; on GS; no traffic; flare; flare; flare; and the rest is history. That was the most scary part of the flight. Immediately; I heard all that noise; saw the propeller dead across the front of the windscreen; and I uttered only 1 word. I knew what happened. I keyed the microphone; and said; 'gear up landing;' and shut everything down. The gear up horn didn't sound. I had the presence of mind to make sure everyone had exited the aircraft; the main power was turned off; avionics were off; gas was off; and we were alright.

Narrative: ABOUT THE TIME I REACHED JLI; PALM SPRINGS HANDED ME OFF TO SD APCH. SD APCH MENTIONED THAT A HAZE LAYER WAS COMING IN; AND THE ACFT AHEAD OF ME HAD DIFFICULTY LOCATING MONTGOMERY FIELD; AND WOULD I LIKE HIM TO GIVE ME VECTORS? I ADVISED HIM THAT I HAD THE ATIS INFO; AND WOULD APPRECIATE HIS ASSISTANCE. I HAD ALREADY ENTERED MYF IN THE GPS; BUT ANY HELP IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED. AT ABOUT 10 MI OUT; I SAW THE ILS SWING IN; AND I WAS DEAD CTR; AND ON GS. THE CTLR ADVISED ME OF PARALLEL TFC; A HELI; AND PASSED ME OFF TO THE TWR. I'M LOOKING FOR THE TFC AT MY 9 O'CLOCK POS; AND WAITING FOR THE LNDG LIGHTS TO BREAK THROUGH THE SCATTERED HAZE LAYER. I SWITCH FROM APCH TO TWR FREQ; AND THEY ADVISE ME OF TFC TO MY L; AND I AM SLOWING THE ACFT DOWN; BRINGING IN FLAPS; LOOKING FOR TFC; SEE THE ARPT RIGHT WHERE IT SHOULD BE; IDENT THE VASI AND MY ALIGNMENT; LOOK FOR TFC; CHK ALIGNMENT; SPD GOOD; ON CTRLINE; ON GS; NO TFC; FLARE; FLARE; FLARE; AND THE REST IS HISTORY. THAT WAS THE MOST SCARY PART OF THE FLT. IMMEDIATELY; I HEARD ALL THAT NOISE; SAW THE PROP DEAD ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE WINDSCREEN; AND I UTTERED ONLY 1 WORD. I KNEW WHAT HAPPENED.
