Event Summary
A pilot on his first solo flight after being endorsed for solo operations experienced an incident during landing. The pilot was performing a landing approach when he leveled the airplane too high above the runway. Subsequently, the pilot decided to abort the landing and initiated a go-around maneuver.
Sequence of Maneuvers
During the go-around, the pilot applied full engine power and retracted the flaps. Following these actions, the airplane began to settle back towards the runway surface. In an attempt to land instead, the pilot then selected 10 degrees of flaps and reduced power. Additionally, the pilot lowered the airplane's nose to increase airspeed. As a result of these control inputs, the nose of the airplane and the propeller made contact with the runway.
The sequence of events ended with the nose and propeller contacting the runway after a series of configuration changes during the go-around and subsequent landing attempt.
