A C310 PLT; EXECUTING A GAR FROM AN UPHILL SLOPING RWY AT BAHIA DE LOS ANGELES; BAJA; MEXICO; IMPACTED THE PROP TIPS WHILE FLYING 10 FT ABOVE THE RWY.

Narrative

AFTER DROPPING OFF MY STUDENT AT A DIFFERENT ARPT; GUERRERO NEGRO; IN BAJA; MEXICO; I PROCEEDED SOLO TO BAHIA DE LOS ANGELES; ALSO IN BAJA; MEXICO. THE ARPT IS UNCTLED; APPROX 4600 FT LONG; 11 FT UPHILL ON ONE SIDE; AND AN 8 FT UPHILL APCH FROM THE OTHER. THERE IS LOOSE GRAVEL; AS WELL AS PAVED SURFACE. IT IS UP HIGH ON A PLATEAU. THERE ARE MOUNTAINS ON ONE SIDE; AND THE SEA OF CORTEZ ON THE OTHER. IT WAS EXTREMELY WINDY; WITH 90 DEG XWINDS; OR SO; FROM THE SEA. AFTER 2 360 DEG TURNS; AND 1 500 FT LOW APCH; I MADE AN ATTEMPTED LNDG AND REALIZED (NO WINDSOCK TOO...) I HAD A HIGH GND SPD; PROBABLE TAILWIND COMPONENT; SO I EXECUTED A GAR. I WAS LNDG ON RWY 33 ON THE 11 FT UPHILL SIDE. I APPLIED FULL PWR; RETRACTED THE GEAR; AND PUT UP FLAPS. I HAD A LARGE GPS; AND IT FELL AND HIT ME OFF OF THE DASH. I DO NOT CONSIDER THAT AS MUCH OF A DISTR. I WAS PURPOSELY EXECUTING A SHALLOW CLBOUT UP THE SLOPE OF THE RWY; AND CONTACTED THE RWY WITH THE TIPS OF THE PROPS. I WAS ABLE TO GO AROUND IN THE PATTERN AND LAND SOFTLY. I BELIEVE THE COMBINATION OF TAILWIND; POSSIBLE DOWN DRAFTS/WINDSHEAR FROM THE EXTREMELY WINDY AND TURB WX; COUPLED WITH MY EARLY RETRACTION OF THE GEAR AND FLAPS; ALL CONTRIBUTED TO THE PROP STRIKE. I BELIEVE THAT A LATER RETRACTION OF GEAR AND KEEPING LAST INCREMENT OF FLAPS WOULD HAVE HELPED PREVENT THE INCIDENT. ALSO; A MORE THOROUGH EVALUATION OF THE WINDSHEAR EFFECTS; BY MORE LOW APCHS MIGHT HAVE HELPED. THE ARPT WAS DESERTED AS WELL.
