Narrative:

It was a cold; clear day with no traffic in the pattern or nearby that showed up either visually or on my garmin traffic avoidance system. I was returning from a short trip with 2 passenger. I entered a left downwind for runway X at ZZZ. I then proceeded to go through my landing gump ritual. I pulled back on the throttle; put my propeller full forward; and mixture rich; and gave it a notch of flaps. Somehow; I missed the undercarriage which is directly to the left of all of the above. There were no distrs; no traffic; no talking in the aircraft; no reason to miss it whatsoever. When I called base; I noticed my speed was higher than normal; so I trimmed up and reduced my throttle. As I was turning final; I saw that I was higher than normal so I throttled back. I heard a bonging in my ear but associated that with an OM and proceeded on to the runway. I continued down and doublechked my manifold pressure and mixture to make sure I was good for a go around. Why I didn't do my normal check of the gear is beyond me. As I went down the runway; I seemed to be in the air floating a long time bleeding off airspeed and I was wondering why I was not touching down. The screeching sound gave me the answer. The landing was remarkably smooth. I shut off the master and evacuate/evacuationed myself and my passenger. We proceeded immediately to the FBO to notify FSS that there was an airplane on the runway. We then called the state police to report an incident involving my aircraft. Arrangements were made to remove the aircraft from the runway and moved to storage. We will notify the FAA first thing in the morning. No drugs or alcohol were involved; not even an aspirin. I voluntarily provided a urine sample to the state police to verify as much. The corrective action would have been to utilize a written checklist. The aircraft was lifted in place and the gear extended with no problem. The aircraft was then towed the half mile to the hangar; thus clearing the runway. The aircraft sustained the loss of an antenna on the bottom of the plane; a few minor scratches; a trashed propeller; and a destroyed engine. Upon further review of my records; I discovered that the aircraft was out of annual. The annual was due in aug/08. It was supposed to have been scheduled in jul/08; but was put off due to scheduling difficulties at the shop. For whatever reason; the plane was not rescheduled and managed to slip through the cracks of everyone's mind. My other plane is due in jan/09 and I suppose I just confused the 2 dates.

Title: PILOT OF C210 FAILS TO PERFORM BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST AND LANDS GEAR UP.

Narrative: IT WAS A COLD; CLEAR DAY WITH NO TFC IN THE PATTERN OR NEARBY THAT SHOWED UP EITHER VISUALLY OR ON MY GARMIN TFC AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. I WAS RETURNING FROM A SHORT TRIP WITH 2 PAX. I ENTERED A L DOWNWIND FOR RWY X AT ZZZ. I THEN PROCEEDED TO GO THROUGH MY LNDG GUMP RITUAL. I PULLED BACK ON THE THROTTLE; PUT MY PROP FULL FORWARD; AND MIXTURE RICH; AND GAVE IT A NOTCH OF FLAPS. SOMEHOW; I MISSED THE UNDERCARRIAGE WHICH IS DIRECTLY TO THE L OF ALL OF THE ABOVE. THERE WERE NO DISTRS; NO TFC; NO TALKING IN THE ACFT; NO REASON TO MISS IT WHATSOEVER. WHEN I CALLED BASE; I NOTICED MY SPD WAS HIGHER THAN NORMAL; SO I TRIMMED UP AND REDUCED MY THROTTLE. AS I WAS TURNING FINAL; I SAW THAT I WAS HIGHER THAN NORMAL SO I THROTTLED BACK. I HEARD A BONGING IN MY EAR BUT ASSOCIATED THAT WITH AN OM AND PROCEEDED ON TO THE RWY. I CONTINUED DOWN AND DOUBLECHKED MY MANIFOLD PRESSURE AND MIXTURE TO MAKE SURE I WAS GOOD FOR A GAR. WHY I DIDN'T DO MY NORMAL CHK OF THE GEAR IS BEYOND ME. AS I WENT DOWN THE RWY; I SEEMED TO BE IN THE AIR FLOATING A LONG TIME BLEEDING OFF AIRSPD AND I WAS WONDERING WHY I WAS NOT TOUCHING DOWN. THE SCREECHING SOUND GAVE ME THE ANSWER. THE LNDG WAS REMARKABLY SMOOTH. I SHUT OFF THE MASTER AND EVACED MYSELF AND MY PAX. WE PROCEEDED IMMEDIATELY TO THE FBO TO NOTIFY FSS THAT THERE WAS AN AIRPLANE ON THE RWY. WE THEN CALLED THE STATE POLICE TO RPT AN INCIDENT INVOLVING MY ACFT. ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE TO REMOVE THE ACFT FROM THE RWY AND MOVED TO STORAGE. WE WILL NOTIFY THE FAA FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL WERE INVOLVED; NOT EVEN AN ASPIRIN. I VOLUNTARILY PROVIDED A URINE SAMPLE TO THE STATE POLICE TO VERIFY AS MUCH. THE CORRECTIVE ACTION WOULD HAVE BEEN TO UTILIZE A WRITTEN CHKLIST. THE ACFT WAS LIFTED IN PLACE AND THE GEAR EXTENDED WITH NO PROB. THE ACFT WAS THEN TOWED THE HALF MILE TO THE HANGAR; THUS CLEARING THE RWY. THE ACFT SUSTAINED THE LOSS OF AN ANTENNA ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PLANE; A FEW MINOR SCRATCHES; A TRASHED PROP; AND A DESTROYED ENG. UPON FURTHER REVIEW OF MY RECORDS; I DISCOVERED THAT THE ACFT WAS OUT OF ANNUAL. THE ANNUAL WAS DUE IN AUG/08. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN SCHEDULED IN JUL/08; BUT WAS PUT OFF DUE TO SCHEDULING DIFFICULTIES AT THE SHOP. FOR WHATEVER REASON; THE PLANE WAS NOT RESCHEDULED AND MANAGED TO SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS OF EVERYONE'S MIND. MY OTHER PLANE IS DUE IN JAN/09 AND I SUPPOSE I JUST CONFUSED THE 2 DATES.
