Narrative:

This letter is to notify you of a propeller strike accident at blue ash airport in cincinnati, oh. I am a student pilot working towards my private pilot certificate. I was performing a standard full flap landing. On my final approach, the wind picked up as I maintained a centerline approach. I came in a little fast and bounced off the back wheels. Attempting a go around, I added power, raised flaps to takeoff position and turned off carburetor heat. There was not enough lift to take off and the plane dropped to the ground in a flat confign. I noticed when I added power, the nose wanted to go forward. After clearing the runway and doing my after landing check, the flaps were still down even though the switch was in takeoff position. The circuit breaker had popped. This was a known problem for over a month, but was supposedly fixed by this day. There was some damage done to the propeller after the plane dropped during my go around attempt. This accident and recent flap problems are being reported to manufacturer. The plane I was flying was a diamond katana DA20.

Narrative: THIS LETTER IS TO NOTIFY YOU OF A PROP STRIKE ACCIDENT AT BLUE ASH ARPT IN CINCINNATI, OH. I AM A STUDENT PLT WORKING TOWARDS MY PVT PLT CERTIFICATE. I WAS PERFORMING A STANDARD FULL FLAP LNDG. ON MY FINAL APCH, THE WIND PICKED UP AS I MAINTAINED A CTRLINE APCH. I CAME IN A LITTLE FAST AND BOUNCED OFF THE BACK WHEELS. ATTEMPTING A GAR, I ADDED PWR, RAISED FLAPS TO TKOF POS AND TURNED OFF CARB HEAT. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH LIFT TO TAKE OFF AND THE PLANE DROPPED TO THE GND IN A FLAT CONFIGN. I NOTICED WHEN I ADDED PWR, THE NOSE WANTED TO GO FORWARD. AFTER CLRING THE RWY AND DOING MY AFTER LNDG CHK, THE FLAPS WERE STILL DOWN EVEN THOUGH THE SWITCH WAS IN TKOF POS. THE CIRCUIT BREAKER HAD POPPED. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROB FOR OVER A MONTH, BUT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY THIS DAY. THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE DONE TO THE PROP AFTER THE PLANE DROPPED DURING MY GAR ATTEMPT.
