Probable cause
The pilot's improper flared and improper recovery from a bounced landing. A factor related to the accident was: the gusty wind condition.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The plt rprtd that while landing, he 'overflared' at about the same time the acft encountered a gust of wind. He said he then overcorrected. Subsequently, the acft landed hard & bounced about 2 times. The plt taxied to the ramp, then after parking, damage was noted on the prop & nose gear.
