The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot statement:
"Was heading back from khqu to kgmu with flight following. Was transferred over Greenville tower about 20NM out. Contacted tower with intentions of a full stop, was instructed to enter right downwind RWY19 and report midfield. Flew in, reported right midfield (1800FT) and was cleared to land. Started my descent a beam the numbers, kept downwind at 90-80K added 10 degrees flaps. Turned base with airspeed at 80-75K with 500FPM descent. Then final with 70-65K. Crossed over the numbers and went idle and maintained landing airspeed.
Right when I went into a flare, I felt my main wheels touch and felt a big bump followed by a bounce. I tried to add power to correct for bounce and continued to porpoise. I noticed my prop strike and rudders not working so I tried to get off of the runway. Airplane came to a complete stop on runway 19.
Airport crew came out to the plane, towed it off the runway and over to southeast ramp."
