Analysis
During arrival the plt was instructed to make a right hand traffic pattern. She was cleared to land behind another acft on a touch & go from a left pattern. The other acft was still on the rwy when she started flaring to land. The plt stated that the acft bounced badly during the landing & after it settled back to the rwy, she had poor steering, so she went off the rwy & shut down the eng. The nose section, firewall, landing gear & prop were damaged during the occurrence.
