What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) During an attempted landing at stp, the aircraft nose gear and propeller contacted the runway surface, resulting in minor damage to the propeller and a portion of the nose-gear assembly. Based upon information related to this inspector during an interview with the pilot at the msp FSDO on 02/02/2004, the pilot stated she thought her approach to the runway at stp appeared a little short, so she added some power. She further stated that entering the flare, she touched down perhaps nose gear first, then became airborne. She then entered into a series of pio's, the 3rd contact with the runway being quite severe. At this point she executed a go-around, re-entered the pattern, and returned for a normal landing. After securing the engine, she noted the damaged propeller. She stated she detected no unusual performance or aircraft vibration during the go-around and subsequent approach and landing.
