## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) THE PILOT STATED HE DEPARTED RUNWAY 3. THE WIND WAS OUT OF THE NORTH WEST. HE SAID THE CLIMB OUT WAS NORMAL. ON THE DOWNWIND LEG IT LOOKED LIKE THE WIND WAS SHIFING TO THE WEST, AT THAT TIME ANOTHER AIRCRAFT ANNOUNCED IT WAS BACK TAXIING RUNWAY 3. HE CONTINUED TO TURN BASE FOR RUNWAY 3, EVERYTHING LOOKED OK 10 DEGREE OF FLAPS, 80 KNOTS GLIDE SPEED AND 1500 RPM'S. ON FINAL HE SAID HE WAS A LITTLE FAST CROSSED THE THRESHOLD AT 70 KNOTS AND 20 DEGREE OF FLAPS. WHEN HE TOUCHED DOWN THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED, HE FELT HE COULD HANDLE THE AIRCRAFT AND MAKE THE LANDING. THE SECOND TOUCHDOWN WAS MORE SEVERE AND THE AIRCRAFT BALLOONED. HE DIDN'T THINK HE HAD ENOUGH RUNWAY TO GO AROUND WITH THE AIR SPEED DIMINISHING. THE PROP STRUCK THE GROUND, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED, AND THE AIRCRAFT ENDED UP IN A NOSE DOWN POSITION. THE PROP SEPARATED FROM THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE COWLING HAD LOWER FORE AND AFT DAMAGE.
