A BE350 SUFFERS A PROP STRIKE WHEN THE PIC MAKES A XWIND LNDG DURING A NIGHT OP AT SUS.

Narrative

WE WERE ON A STABILIZED APCH (ILS). IT WAS VERY WINDY AND GUSTY ALOFT -- MAYBE 45 KTS OR SO AT ABOUT 3000 FT MSL. WE SAW THE APCH LIGHTS AT ABOUT 400 FT AGL; AND THEN THE RWY AT ABOUT 300 FT. ONCE THE RWY WAS IN SIGHT; I TURNED OFF THE WINDSHIELD HEAT. I THOUGHT (ALOUD) OF ADDING FULL FLAPS; BUT THEN SAID I WOULD NOT ADD THEM BECAUSE OF THE ICE AND WIND. WE HAD CHKED THE XWIND COMPONENT USING THE CHART IN THE CHKLIST; AND TALKED ABOUT USING SLIGHT DIFFERENTIAL PWR EARLIER. I REMEMBER HEARING 'TOO LOW FLAPS'; 'MINIMUMS'; 'MINIMUMS.' I CALLED FOR FULL FLAPS TO COMPLETE THE BEFORE LNDG CHKLIST. WE LANDED IN WHAT SEEMED TO BE THE CORRECT XWIND CONFIGN: NOSE STRAIGHT; WING LOW. WE BOUNCED. I FELT THE WING COME UP SLIGHTLY; SO I REAPPLIED XWIND CORRECTION. NOW I REALIZE IT MUST HAVE BEEN TOO MUCH; AND I MUST HAVE SOMEHOW GOTTEN THE NOSEWHEEL DOWN TOO IN MY EFFORTS TO STICK THE LNDG. AT THAT POINT; MY CO-PLT SUGGESTED A GAR BECAUSE WE BOUNCED AGAIN. I SAID 'NO; IT'S TOO LATE' BECAUSE I FELT IT WAS SAFER NOT TO GO AROUND AT THAT SPD AND IN THOSE CONDITIONS. I KNEW THAT LNDG WAS AWFUL; BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I HAD DONE WRONG. ONLY AFTER WE HAD TAXIED IN AND SHUT DOWN DID I NOTICE THE R PROP TIPS WERE CURLED. I THINK FATIGUE WAS A FACTOR BECAUSE WE HAD BATTLED AWFUL WX ON A 12+ HR DUTY DAY. THE WX WAS OBVIOUSLY A FACTOR. STRESS WAS A FACTOR BECAUSE MY FAMILY AND IN-LAWS WERE ARRIVING THE NEXT DAY AT MY HOUSE. TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE; I WILL TRY TO AVOID WORKING WHEN MY STRESS AND FATIGUE IS HIGH; AND MORE IMPORTANTLY; I WILL NOT OVERCORRECT FOR A BOUNCED LNDG. I JUST HAVE TO CONCENTRATE HARDER AND PRACTICE MY LNDGS. IT WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS.
