(.19) ON JULY 4, 2001, AT 1118 HOURS PACIFIC DAYLIGHT TIME, A CESSNA 175, N9287B, PORPOISED DURING A HARD LANDING AT THE MONTEREY PENINSULA AIRPORT, MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA. THE COMMERCIAL CERTIFICATED PILOT AND ONE PASSENGER WERE NOT INJURED. THE AIRPLANE WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED. THE PERSONAL FLIGHT WAS OPERATED BY CASE TRANSPORT, INC., UNDER 14 CFR PART 91, AND DEPARTED FROM HAYWARD, CALIFORNIA, AT 1030. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AND NO FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED. THE PILOT TOLD THE SAFETY BOARD INVESTIGATOR THAT SHE LANDED THE AIRPLANE ON RUNWAY 10L [3502 FEET LONG BY 60 FEET WIDE]. THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND SHE DID NOT THINK WAKE TURBULENCE WAS A FACTOR. THE LANDING SEEMED ROUTINE; HOWEVER, SHE WAS SURPRISED WHEN THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED AND SHE ATTEMPTED TO "PEG" THE AIRPLANE TO THE RUNWAY. THE AIRPLANE BOUNCED ONCE OR TWICE MORE. WHEN THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP, THE PROPELLER WAS DAMAGED AND THE FIREWALL AND FORWARD FUSELAGE EXHIBITED BUCKLING DAMAGE.  THE SURFACE WIND WAS REPORTED VARIABLE AT 5 KNOTS.                  (-23) THE PILOT MADE A NORMAL UNEVENTFUL APPROACH TO RWY 28R.  UPON TOUCH DOWN, THE PILOT MADE A HARD LANDING WHICH APPEARS TO TO HAVE CAUSED THE AIRC RAFT TO BOUNCE THREE TIMES. UPON THE THIRD BOUNCE, THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE RUNWAY AND THE NOSE GEAR STRUT AND TIRE COLLAPSED.  THE IMPACT ALSO CAUSED THE ENGINE MOUNT AND FIRE WALL AREA TO COMPRESS AND BREAK.
