Narrative:

When landing at brevig I went through my normal procedures and checklist, as I was selecting the gear down I hit some turbulence and may have inadvertently bumped it back up or never got the gear handle all the way down into the gear down position. When I flared there was no gear horn until one second before impact. Factors to the incident. Turbulence, wind, icy runway to land on, gear horn set too low. The book says 12' mp should be at least 20' mp. Also on my mind was the WX at the next stop. A red warning light connection would help also. After encountering the turbulence I should have gone back through the checklist to double check to make sure that it was completed.
