Probable cause
The pilot did not properly compensate for the gusty wind conditions, resulting in the airplane landing hard and porpoising.
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 he encountered turbulence prior to landing on runway 6. The airplane landed hard, nose wheel first and porpoised several times. The pilot applied power, regained control and landed the airplane normally.
