What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The PIC while initiating landing during a pleasure flight, conditions clear & calm and all indications appeared normal until touchdown. The pilot stated she experienced a hard landing and subsequent single bounce and decided the appropriate action was to execute a go around and climbed back to pattern altitude. ATC instructed her to complete a standard left traffic approach and then was cleared to land. Upon taxiing to the FBO, shut down and noted strike damage to both propellers. This encountered during the previous landing attempt. Damage was considered minimal and confined to the nose wheel pant, propeller blades and consequently because of the prop strike entails further engine examination.
