What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

On initial landing attempt the aircraft touched down and immediately began to porpoise, MS.

On the second attempt she made a successful landing and taxied the aircraft to the parking spot. Inspection of the aircraft revealed that the propeller blades sustained damage. No pilot deviation involved and no 8020-11 was generated. A copy of this report was furnished to the sjc FSDO operations unit. This concludes this investigation and this report is closed.
