Incident Details
According to the pilot, he increased power and airspeed during final approach to compensate for strong winds and turbulence. The wind was reported from 150 degrees at 18 knots, gusting to 28 knots. The aircraft crossed the threshold of Runway 10 at an airspeed reportedly 30 knots faster than normal.
The pilot stated that the aircraft landed hard on the left main landing gear first, then began to lean to the left. At some point, the left propeller struck the runway, producing sparks. The pilot then pulled up the aircraft, retracted the landing gear, shut down both engines, and performed a gear-up landing.
Damage
An examination revealed that the tips of the left propeller had sheared off and penetrated the left tip tank. Additionally, the belly, gear doors, and landing gear were damaged.
