On April 21, 2010, at approximately 1435 local time, a student pilot was involved in an aircraft incident while landing at the Hutchinson Municipal Airport (khut), Hutchinson, Kansas. The aircraft involved in this incident is a Cirrus SR-20, which is owned and operated by a local flight school. Visual meteorological conditions (VMC) existed at the time of the incident; the aircraft was landing on runway 17. Immediately before this incident occurred, the airman had performed 3 full-stop landings with the certified flight instructor. After this dual flight, the airman departed to conduct 3 full-stop landings as the solo pilot; this was the airman's second solo flight. The first landing was performed in a satisfactory manner. However, during the second approach to landing on runway 17, the airman stated that upon executing a normal touchdown, the aircraft immediately became airborne and started to porpoise. The airman elected to conduct a go-around by advancing full power and raising the flaps to the 50 % position. Per the airman's statement, due to the aircraft not performing as desired, the go-around was aborted. During the time that the airman elected to go-around until the time that it was rejected, the aircraft rolled right causing the right wingtip to contact the runway. A subsequent uncoordinated roll to the left ensued causing the left horizontal stabilizer to also contact the runway. The relatively high pitch attitude that was established in the attempted go-around damaged the plastic tail tie-down on the lower portion of the empennage. The airman eventually regained control; however, during the rollout, departed the end of the runway surface, striking two runway end lights with the propeller. A post-incident inspection of the aircraft confirmed the minor damage sustained during the landing and attempted go-around; however, the aircraft's flaps were discovered in the up position. The student pilot was uninjured in this incident.
