Examination of the aircraft and crash site:
Aircraft landed on runway 6. Examination of the propeller impact area could not be made but actual pictures are included of the propeller blades curled back. The firewall behind the nose gear attaching appears warped and the pilot and co-pilot forward floorboards are also distorted. The wings and flaps appeared normal with no visible damage. No fuel leaks were observed. Overall the aircraft looks clean and untouched except for the propeller damage.
Pilot?s written statement: statement
We went out to preflight and noticed a propeller strike which may have occurred during my solo flight in the third landing I suppose. The solo took place in kfin from runway 6, I did a go-around and landed safely on the ground so I did not know about the damage until I was pre-flighting to return to kdab from where I took off from runway 7L for my first solo. The landing felt a little hard but it did not feel like a nose wheel.
Accident/incident pictures were requested and sent to privacy data omitted from the NTSB.
Air traffic control tapes were not be obtained.
Overall, the incident investigation is complete; all documents appear to be in order, airworthiness certificate, registration, last annual and 100 hour inspections.
The nine FAA responsibilities were investigated and were answered no except for the airmen/ air agency competence, which will be looked at into further detail by an operations ASI. This concludes our investigation into the incident of N529ND which appears to be a pilot issue. No mechanical or technical issues were detected with the equipment during our investigation
