What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
While doing touch and goes in the pattern, on the last landing the I reduced RPM to 4500 on base to final and went to 4000 on about a half-mile final. Everything looked good except I was descending a bit faster than expected, so as I got about 20 yards from the runway, I added a bit of throttle, which pitches the nose down; I was anticipating that, so I pulled stick back, but there wasn’t enough time (1 or 2 seconds) for altitude to come up; instead, the tail went down enough to catch the edge of the runway, resulting in a hard landing that damaged the main gear resulting in a runway excursion.
