Analysis
During arrival, the plt entered the traffic pattern behind other acft to land on rwy 12. At that time, a Boeing 727 was waiting to takeoff on the same rwy. At 1914:52, the plt (of N92259) was instructed to start a left turn to the base leg. At 1915:04, the Boeing was cleared to taxi into psn & hold, but be ready for an immediate takeoff. When other acft had cleared from the rwy at 1915:41, the Boeing was cleared for takeoff. The Boeing immediately began taking off at 1915:44 & the controller instructed N92259 to square his turn to final apch for spacing & to use caution for wake turbu-lence. The plt stated that he landed aprx 90 sec after the Boeing took off. Reportedly, N92259 landed about 1/4 of the way down the rwy; however, the acft touched down hard & bounced 3 or 4 times, damaging the prop, nose gear & firewall. After landing, the acft rolled to the end of the rwy & the plt taxied to the parking area.
