| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated that the landing approach to the hard surface runway was uneventful until the landing flare, when the airplane pitch descended below a normal flare attitude. The pilot reported that the nose landing gear 'firmly†struck the runway before the main landing gear, which resulted in a bounced landing. The pilot stated that the airplane bounced a second time before he selected takeoff power and retracted the flaps to 50 percent in an attempt to abort the landing; however, the airplane did not achieve takeoff speed and subsequently departed the end of the runway and impacted a runway edge identifier light. A postaccident examination of the airframe and engine did not reveal any preimpact failures or malfunctions that would have prevented normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudged landing flare, which resulted in a porpoised landing.
