Narrative:

Landing runway 21 wind reported 220 at 14 KTS gusting to 22. Aircraft struck hard and bounced then landed hard on nose gear. Unable to control as aircraft veered left off runway. No injuries to passenger. Right main gear collapsed and significant damage to right wing. Contributing factors: low time pilot, gusting winds, steep approach, lack of proficiency in recovering from bad lndgs. Preventing a recurrence would be helped by doing more lndgs in adverse conditions with an instructor.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: SMA PLT BOUNCES LNDG, COMES DOWN ON NOSE GEAR. LOSS OF CTL, RWY EXCURSION.

Narrative: LNDG RWY 21 WIND RPTED 220 AT 14 KTS GUSTING TO 22. ACFT STRUCK HARD AND BOUNCED THEN LANDED HARD ON NOSE GEAR. UNABLE TO CTL AS ACFT VEERED L OFF RWY. NO INJURIES TO PAX. R MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED AND SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO R WING. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: LOW TIME PLT, GUSTING WINDS, STEEP APCH, LACK OF PROFICIENCY IN RECOVERING FROM BAD LNDGS. PREVENTING A RECURRENCE WOULD BE HELPED BY DOING MORE LNDGS IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS WITH AN INSTRUCTOR.
