Narrative:
Nearly landed gear up. Recovered at last second and resulted in propeller strike. We were coming in for a no flap landing when at the last second the pilot noticed that the gear was down and initiated a go around. The only damage was a propeller strike. The pilot's actions were excellent for the recovery but lax in checking to see that the gear was down.
