Probable cause
The pilot's improper landing/touchdown. A related factor was the pilot's lack of total flight experience.
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 pilot stated that his approach and landing flare seemed normal. Shortly after touchdown, the nose of the airplane pitched up, and the airplane bounced several times before it came to a stop. The pilot had 85 hours total flight experience, including 23 hours in the accident airplane.
