Narrative:
This was a familiarization flight for a friend who was also a pilot. We had done 3 lndgs. This was the 4TH. On downwind, I instructed him to lower approach flaps and the gear. I then looked for traffic. I heard a whine, which was the flap motor. I thought the gear was coming down also, neither he nor I confirmed the gear was down and locked. As we flared, the propellers nicked the runway. I went around, lowered the gear, and landed. 1) the gear and flaps should have been done in sequence. 2) I heard the flap motor and assumed the gear motor was also running. 3) in fact, I was PIC, and should have personally checked that gear was down and locked.
