Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that when he approached the runway, he 'eased the yoke back to initiate a flare'. The airplane did not flare as he expected, and continued in a nose down attitude. The airplane touched down hard, and bounced. He then performed a go-around. His second landing was uneventful, but he had difficulty turning to the right during taxi to the ramp area. The pilot reported no anomalies with the airplane or the engine; however, examination of the airplane revealed the tips of the propeller blades were bent, the firewall was buckled, and the nosewheel was damaged.
