Narrative:

While I was landing on runway 6, touched down too quickly and plane lifted up and came down hard. I then applied full power and performed a go around. I was worried I had damaged the propeller and informed the tower. They asked if I would like to declare an emergency. I declared an emergency on the downwind leg of the pattern (I believe I was #1 for runway 6 anyway and no traffic was delayed) and landed on runway 6. After taxiing off the active, I informed ground I needed to go back to the FBO to check for propeller damage. The propeller was damaged. This was my second solo flight.

Narrative: WHILE I WAS LNDG ON RWY 6, TOUCHED DOWN TOO QUICKLY AND PLANE LIFTED UP AND CAME DOWN HARD. I THEN APPLIED FULL PWR AND PERFORMED A GAR. I WAS WORRIED I HAD DAMAGED THE PROP AND INFORMED THE TWR. THEY ASKED IF I WOULD LIKE TO DECLARE AN EMER. I DECLARED AN EMER ON THE DOWNWIND LEG OF THE PATTERN (I BELIEVE I WAS #1 FOR RWY 6 ANYWAY AND NO TFC WAS DELAYED) AND LANDED ON RWY 6. AFTER TAXIING OFF THE ACTIVE, I INFORMED GND I NEEDED TO GO BACK TO THE FBO TO CHK FOR PROP DAMAGE. THE PROP WAS DAMAGED. THIS WAS MY SECOND SOLO FLT.
