The Cessna 551 Citation II, N59GB, was substantially damaged during landing at Pueblo Memorial Airport, Colorado. The private pilot and his three passengers were not injured.
According to the pilot, he was landing on runway 8L (10,496 ft. X 150 ft., asphalt). He was in the process of deploying the thrust reversers when the front of the airplane began to "veer and then oscillate up and down." The airplane felt "very stiff up front as if [it] had hit something." The airplane became airborne and touched down again, then veered off the runway. The fuselage and both wings sustained internal damage. The nose gear was destroyed.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The pilot's delayed flare, improper recovery from a bounced landing, and failure to maintain directional control. A factor was the rough uneven terrain."
