## Narrative

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

PILOT LANDED HARD AND AIRCRAFT BOUNCED INTO THE AIR. THE PILOT STATES THAT HE TRIED TO APPLY POWER BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO THE THROTTLE. THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOSE UP AND THE R.H. WING DIPPED OR STALLED OUT. WHEN THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN THE SECOND TIME THE AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY TO THE RIGHT. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED ON ACROSS THE TAXIWAY, DOWN THRU A WATER CATCHMENT BASIN, UP THE SIDE OF THE BASIN, AND THEN STRUCK A CONCRETE CURB WITH THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR. THIS CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO SPIN AROUND 180 DEGREES AND CAME TO REST AFTER SLIDING ON THE ADJACENT AIRCRAFT PARKING RAMP.  THE PILOT AND TWO PASSENGERS DID NOT SUSTAIN INJURIES OTHER THAN BRUISES AND SCRATCHES. THE AIRCRAFT RH MAIN WHEEL ASSEMBLY BROKE FREE OF THE GEAR STRUT, THE WING TIPS WERE BENT UP AT 30 DEGREES, THE TAIL EMPENAGE WAS EXTENSIVELY WRINKLED, THE ENGINE WAS RIPPED OFF THE ENGINE MOUNT AND WAS ONLY HELD TO THE AIRCRAFT BY ENGINE CONTROL CABLES AND WAS FACING 90 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT OF THE FUSELAGE, BOTH PROP BLADES WERE CURLED BACKWARDS INDICATING NO POWER.
