What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot stated that she was operating the aircraft for the purpose of ten solo night towered landings. The pilot had completed 5 touch and go landings successfully. On the sixth touch and go landing as the pilot was descending and was almost in ground effect, she briefly looked into the cockpit to ensure proper airspeed and noticed that the heading indicator had failed and that the primary flight display was flickering. The pilot decided to do a full stop landing. The pilot stated that she landed the aircraft too flat which caused it to porpoise three times and a loss of control. The pilot then regained control of the aircraft and taxied to the ramp. When the pilot shut off the aircraft and disembarked, she noticed that the propeller had struck the ground, causing minor damage to the aircraft. Pilot counseling is recommended as the corrective action. The pilot was properly certificated for the flight. The aircraft required inspections records are current.
