Narrative:
I experienced a rough landing in a DA20. I initially performed a go around and on the subsequent final I was able to achieve a perfect glide slope. As the wheels touched the ground for what I had anticipated to be a perfect landing; I found myself going back up in the air. I continued looking down the runway maintaining center line and pulling back on the yoke and applied power to allow the aircraft to maintain 60 KTS; as I felt the aircraft once again touch on the runway. I then reduced the power to idle; gently applied the brakes and turned onto taxiway charlie as instructed by the tower. After taxiing and securing the aircraft; I conducted an inspection of the aircraft. The only sign of damage to the aircraft was to the tips of the propeller. There were no visible signs of damage to the landing gear.
