## Narrative

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

THE PILOT IN COMMAND (PIC) INITIATED A GO-AROUND AFTER AN UNSUCCESSFUL FIRST LANDING IN GUSTY WINDS.

DURING THE SECOND ATTEMPT, A SUDDEN GUST CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO PORPOISE. THE PIC COULD NOT ARREST THE DESCENT, RESULTING IN A NOSE-WHEEL AND PROPELLER STRIKE THAT STRUCTURALLY DAMAGED THE FIREWALL AND SURROUNDING FUSELAGE.
