## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE AIRPLANE EXPERIENCED A PROPELLER STRIKE DURING LANDING ON RWYY 15. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE WAS ON SHORT FINAL AT 65 TO 70 MPH AIRSPEED WITH A 30-DEGREE FLAP SETTING, WHEN HE SUDDENLY "FELT" AN APPARENT INCREASE IN AIRCRAFT SPEED. HE THEN LOOKED DOWN MOMENTARILY AT THE ENGINE RPM GAUGE WHICH WAS INDICATING 1,000 RPM. AS HE LOOKED BACK UP, HE REALIZED HE WAS "RIGHT ON TOP OF THE RUNWAY" AND PULLED THE NOSE UP. HE THEN FELT THE WHEELS HIT AND FINISHED THE LANDING. AFTER HE TAXIED TO THE RAMP AND PARKED THE AIRCRAFT, HE NOTICED THE PROPELLER TIPS WERE DAMAGED.AN INSPECTION OF THE AIRPLANE AFTER THE MISHAP BY FAA INSPECTORS REVEALED THAT THE PROPELLER TIPS WERE BENT BACK AT ABOUT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE, AND THAT THEY EXHIBITED CHORD WISE SCRATCHES ON THE FWD SIDE OF THE TIPS UP TO ABOUT 1 INCH FROM THE TIPS. THE NOSE GEAR STRUT OLEO WAS OBSERVED TO BE EXTENDED BETWEEN 2 AND 3 INCHES. THE PILOT NOTED THAT THE WINDS AT THE TIME OF THE LANDING WERE CALM. ACCORDING TO NOAA WEATHER DATA, THE WINDS AT ISM WERE 3 MPH FROM 250 DEGREES AT 1050 EDT, AND 5 MPH FROM 060 DEGREES AT 1150 EDT. THE WINDS BEFORE AND AFTER THOSE OBSERVATIONS RANGED BETWEEN 0 MPH (CALM) AND 5 MPH UP UNTIL 1645 EDT.
