She reported that she tried to slow the airplane, but the airplane bounced during the landing. She was too slow to react, and the airplane bounced a second time collapsing the nose landing gear. The airplane sustained substantial damage to one of the two diagonal stiffeners on the firewall. The pilot reported there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N182PP](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N182PP), registered now, S/N T18208389, built 2005 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: CESSNA T182T - Registry model: [Cessna T182T](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-t182t) (registry code 2072738) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Lycoming TI0-540 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/lycoming-ti0-540-series) (registry code 41533, turbo-prop) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: T18208389 - Year built: 2005 - Airframe hours: 611 - Engines: LYCOMING TI0-540 SER 310 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Operator: Private Individual - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, October 12, 2020, 7 hours before - Departed: MGM, Montgomery, AL - Destination: Same as departure - Flight plan: IFR - Airport: BBG, Branson, runway 32, 7,140 × 150 ft, concrete - Equipment: Stall warning system, Satellite tracking device, Onboard weather, ADS-B, Heads up display, Electronic primary flight display, Electronic multifunction display, Electronic flight bag or handheld device, Auto-pilot, Angle of attack indicator ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
