Understood and thank you for the advice rickair777.

I wasn't aware that the 709 ride would pop up and didn't show anything when I requested my records via FOIA so I thought I might be in the clear.

Yes the question certainly came up with the FAA Inspector on why I didn't commit to the gear up. I count my blessings that one or both engines didn't fail. Truth be told that it happened so fast and the go-around was my first instinct. I didn't realize the props had hit and was hoping the go-around was initiated early enough. Probably some wishful thinking or desperation on my part. Seeing the tips of the prop blades bent upon shut down and the overall experience that still haunts me to this day.

Thanks once again.
