Narrative:

After receiving current ATIS information from fullerton, I contacted the control tower and reported my position and knowledge of ATIS. My navigation radio was set on 108.9 fullerton localizer-DME, the obs set on 240 with needle centered. Straight in approach was approved for runway 24 and directed to report over cal state. After reporting at cal state I was cleared to land with 2 1/2 mi final. With field in sight, autoplt now turned off. At this time gear down, 10 degree flaps, indicated airspeed 120, VASI red over white, additional 10 degree flaps applied. Airspeed 90, second light bar turning red, power applied and full flaps deployed. Now on glide path and approach correct, power off short of runway and approach speed normal. Once over the runway numbers the flare was initiated and touchdown at 75. It appeared the ground speed was slightly high and the aircraft lifted off the runway and floated approximately 150 ft. At this time contact was made with the runway, once again the aircraft lifted off a second time for a short distance. When contact and roll finally made, heavy braking applied in an all out effort to avoid end of runway overrun, which happened -- no injury. After a review of the event, I feel a tailwind must have developed which pushed the aircraft down the runway at a gndspd higher than indicated airspeed.

Title: SMA PLT BOUNCES TWICE ON LNDG AND ROLLS ONTO OVER RUN.

Narrative: AFTER RECEIVING CURRENT ATIS INFO FROM FULLERTON, I CONTACTED THE CTL TWR AND RPTED MY POS AND KNOWLEDGE OF ATIS. MY NAV RADIO WAS SET ON 108.9 FULLERTON LOC-DME, THE OBS SET ON 240 WITH NEEDLE CENTERED. STRAIGHT IN APCH WAS APPROVED FOR RWY 24 AND DIRECTED TO RPT OVER CAL STATE. AFTER RPTING AT CAL STATE I WAS CLRED TO LAND WITH 2 1/2 MI FINAL. WITH FIELD IN SIGHT, AUTOPLT NOW TURNED OFF. AT THIS TIME GEAR DOWN, 10 DEG FLAPS, INDICATED AIRSPD 120, VASI RED OVER WHITE, ADDITIONAL 10 DEG FLAPS APPLIED. AIRSPD 90, SECOND LIGHT BAR TURNING RED, PWR APPLIED AND FULL FLAPS DEPLOYED. NOW ON GLIDE PATH AND APCH CORRECT, PWR OFF SHORT OF RWY AND APCH SPD NORMAL. ONCE OVER THE RWY NUMBERS THE FLARE WAS INITIATED AND TOUCHDOWN AT 75. IT APPEARED THE GND SPD WAS SLIGHTLY HIGH AND THE ACFT LIFTED OFF THE RWY AND FLOATED APPROX 150 FT. AT THIS TIME CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE RWY, ONCE AGAIN THE ACFT LIFTED OFF A SECOND TIME FOR A SHORT DISTANCE. WHEN CONTACT AND ROLL FINALLY MADE, HVY BRAKING APPLIED IN AN ALL OUT EFFORT TO AVOID END OF RWY OVERRUN, WHICH HAPPENED -- NO INJURY. AFTER A REVIEW OF THE EVENT, I FEEL A TAILWIND MUST HAVE DEVELOPED WHICH PUSHED THE ACFT DOWN THE RWY AT A GNDSPD HIGHER THAN INDICATED AIRSPD.
