Read the full NTSB narrative

According to the pilot, as he landed on runway 01, the airplane bounced and touched down hard on the nose wheel. The pilot initiated a go-around and returned to land on runway 01. During the go-around the pilot reported that the airplane was shaking violently, and would not climb above 200 feet. After the pilot landed the airplane and stopped the engine he realized that he had a propeller strike. No flight control or mechanical anomalies were reported by the pilot prior to the hard landing. Examination of the airframe revealed the propeller was bent aft, and the lower firewall was buckled. Aircraft logbooks were not recovered for examination.
