| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
Several attempts were made to the talk with the pilot but were unsuccessful. The pilot stated during an interview with the insurance adjuster that there were no discrepancies noted during the preflight or engine run-up before takeoff. He stated that after departure the flight remained in the airport traffic pattern where he performed touch-and-go landings. During the flare of the accident landing, the flight was fast and the airplane began to porpoise resulting in a propeller strike. He further stated that he should have initiated a go-around but 'at the time I never experienced the porpoising during the flare. It happened so quickly that I didn't even finish it.' Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed the firewall and propeller were damaged.
Probable Cause: The failure of the pilot to initiate a go-around after the airplane began to porpoise, resulting in a hard landing and structural damage to the airplane.
