During the landing flare, the left wing suddenly dropped. The first officer immediately applied right aileron control in an attempt to counteract the wing drop and the aircraft touched down. After shutdown, the crew inspected the aircraft and determined that the left propeller had contacted the ground.
The aircraft operator examined the aircraft and believed that there was uncommanded retraction of the left landing gear on or just after touchdown. The reason for the uncommanded retraction could not be determined.
