Incident
During the arrival, the pilot was instructed to enter a right-hand traffic pattern. She was subsequently cleared to land behind another aircraft that was conducting a touch-and-go landing from a left-hand pattern. The preceding aircraft was still on the runway when she began flaring for landing.
The pilot reported that the aircraft bounced severely during the landing. After it settled back onto the runway, she experienced difficulty with directional control. The aircraft departed the runway, and the pilot shut down the engine.
Aircraft Damage
The runway excursion resulted in damage to the nose section, firewall, landing gear, and propeller.
