Analysis
On landing touchdown, the acft bounced and ballooned back into the air. Plt applied full throttle for go-around, but engine responded with partial power, insufficient for successful go-around. Plt then cut throttle in attempt to remain within airport confines but power remained the same. Plt then placed mixture in cut-off as acft overran the runway and crossed a road into rough terrain. Although the engine performed normally in test run, no information was made available regarding possible throttle control malfunction.
