Incident Overview
A pilot departed Mt Hawley Airport for Greater Peoria Airport to practice touch-and-go landings. On the first approach, the pilot was high and executed a go-around. The second approach was also slightly high, but the pilot elected to continue because the runway was long.
Landing Sequence
The pilot touched down just beyond the 1,000-foot marker at an airspeed just over 70 knots. The aircraft bounced 3 to 5 feet. After the second touchdown, the aircraft bounced up approximately 15 to 20 feet, then settled hard onto the runway.
Damage
The hard landing caused damage to the propeller, engine firewall, and engine mounts. No further details were provided regarding the extent of the damage or the condition of the pilot.
