Narrative:
At the point where the landing gear should have been lowered, I was distraction by the change in runways. Upon landing, I heard a scraping sound and realized the gear was not in the down position, so I put the throttle to full power and went around. I then landed properly with the gear in the full down and locked position. To prevent this in the future, I will take a more disciplined approach to using checklists during landing. The only damage to the aircraft was to the propeller.

Narrative: AT THE POINT WHERE THE LNDG GEAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOWERED, I WAS DISTR BY THE CHANGE IN RWYS. UPON LNDG, I HEARD A SCRAPING SOUND AND REALIZED THE GEAR WAS NOT IN THE DOWN POS, SO I PUT THE THROTTLE TO FULL PWR AND WENT AROUND. I THEN LANDED PROPERLY WITH THE GEAR IN THE FULL DOWN AND LOCKED POS. TO PREVENT THIS IN THE FUTURE, I WILL TAKE A MORE DISCIPLINED APCH TO USING CHKLISTS DURING LNDG.
