Narrative:
The following is a factual report of a landing incident involving cirrus SR22T gen 5 [and a student pilot].[the pilot]; with approximately 210 hours flight experience and approximately six hours solo experience was returning to ZZZ at the end of a cross-country solo exercise. The flight plan for the cross-country flight was ZZZ to ZZZ1 (landing) to ZZZ2 (landing) to ZZZ; routed primarily over land with various auto-pilot navigation points and numerous visual pilotage way-points. Departure was with full fuel; ending with approximately 50 gallons fuel. Weight and balance on return to ZZZ [was completed]weather was bright and sunny; winds are recorded as 4.6 kts; variable. Tower directed [pilot] to land on runway 11. The approach was standard in air speed; glide slope; and runway alignment.on reaching the runway; there was a propeller strike due; [the pilot] believes; to an inappropriately timed round-out and flare. Wind is not believed to be a factor.upon striking the propeller and the nose wheel the aircraft pitched up and may have experienced one or more porpoise movements. The force of the propeller strike causes the aircraft to sharply roll and it quickly experienced some back and forth rolling; during which the left wing tip struck the runway; which tore away the pitot tube.the force of the wing strike caused the aircraft to yaw left to an estimated 15 to 20 degrees off the runway heading.at this point; with the aircraft an estimated five to fifteen feet off the ground; approximately level and askew from the runway; [the pilot] judged the best course of action was to attempt a go-around. With full power applied and flaps retracting (full retraction; an error; rather than 50 percent) the aircraft successfully regained controlled flight and ascended to pattern altitude.with directional assistance from the tower; [the pilot] was able to uneventfully navigate an approach to runway 16 and land normally; followed by taxiing back to the aircraft's tie down. Although once airborne there was no airspeed indication; through close attention to pitch and power; [the pilot] believes the aircraft was operating at proper airspeeds during every part of the circle back; approach and landing.after tie-down; a visual examination of the aircraft indicated that all three propeller blades were frayed on approximately the outer three inches. The pitot tube was missing and there was moderate scrapping damage to the underside of the left wing tip.
