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 reported that during the flare the acft began to 'porpoise.' Reportedly, it bounced during the landing, but the plt did not add power to go around or to reland the acft. The acft bounced several times. The nose gear, eng mounts & firewall were bent, the propeller struck the rwy & a tire was flown out. According to the plt, she encountered no acft malfunction.
