## Narrative

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

THE PILOT STATED THE INITIAL APPROACH WAS GOOD BUT A LITTLE FLATTER AND MORE POWER THAN NORMAL AND HE REDUCED POWER TOO QUICKLY AND THE AIRCRAFT SANK.  THE FIRST BOUNCE WAS NOT TO SEVERE. THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED A SECOND TIME UP TO ABOUT 15 FEET.   WHEN THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED THE THIRD TIME IT HAD RUN OUT OF AIRSPEED AND LANDED HARD ENOUGH TO COLLAPSE THE FRONT GEAR.     AS A RESULT, THE PROP STRUCK THE RUNWAY AND THE ENGINE STOPPED.  THE AIRCRAFT TRAVELED ABOUT ANOTHER 40 FEET DOWN THE RUNWAY ON THE MAIN GEAR STRUTS.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
