Narrative:
I was flying a B727 on a ferry flight from mia to pie. Upon landing at pie (runway 35R) a bounced landing occurred. During the recovery, the right wingtip made contact with the runway causing minor damage (scrape to trailing edge wingtip). Our maintenance department was notified and advised of the damage. After an inspection, the aircraft continued in service and a logbook entry was made. The flight engineer failed to make a proper logbook entry clearing the item and I inadvertently continued to fly thereafter. The problem was discovered at the end of the day. The approach to the runway was stabilized, the only problem observed by the crew might have possibly been a 70 degree crosswind. Vref speed +8 KTS was held down to about 20 ft above the runway when I noticed a rapid rate of descent and the airspeed rapidly decreasing. (It felt like someone took the tail and just pushed it down.) in over 3000 hours of flying this airplane, I had never experienced this type of reaction. I immediately brought in the power and executed a go around. Before the aircraft responded, the main gear touched the runway and the aircraft bounced. A second lighter touch occurred before the aircraft became airborne. The aircraft returned and landed.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A B727 WAS CONTINUED IN SVC WITH A LOG RPT OF A R WING SCRAPE WITH NO PROPER LOGBOOK ENTRY CLRING THE ITEM.
Narrative: I WAS FLYING A B727 ON A FERRY FLT FROM MIA TO PIE. UPON LNDG AT PIE (RWY 35R) A BOUNCED LNDG OCCURRED. DURING THE RECOVERY, THE R WINGTIP MADE CONTACT WITH THE RWY CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE (SCRAPE TO TRAILING EDGE WINGTIP). OUR MAINT DEPT WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED OF THE DAMAGE. AFTER AN INSPECTION, THE ACFT CONTINUED IN SVC AND A LOGBOOK ENTRY WAS MADE. THE FE FAILED TO MAKE A PROPER LOGBOOK ENTRY CLRING THE ITEM AND I INADVERTENTLY CONTINUED TO FLY THEREAFTER. THE PROB WAS DISCOVERED AT THE END OF THE DAY. THE APCH TO THE RWY WAS STABILIZED, THE ONLY PROB OBSERVED BY THE CREW MIGHT HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN A 70 DEG XWIND. VREF SPD +8 KTS WAS HELD DOWN TO ABOUT 20 FT ABOVE THE RWY WHEN I NOTICED A RAPID RATE OF DSCNT AND THE AIRSPD RAPIDLY DECREASING. (IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE TOOK THE TAIL AND JUST PUSHED IT DOWN.) IN OVER 3000 HRS OF FLYING THIS AIRPLANE, I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF REACTION. I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT IN THE PWR AND EXECUTED A GAR. BEFORE THE ACFT RESPONDED, THE MAIN GEAR TOUCHED THE RWY AND THE ACFT BOUNCED. A SECOND LIGHTER TOUCH OCCURRED BEFORE THE ACFT BECAME AIRBORNE. THE ACFT RETURNED AND LANDED.
