Incident Overview
A pilot reported that during the final approach phase, the tower controller instructed her to maintain her speed because two fighter aircraft were behind her. She complied with this instruction. The pilot had planned to land long on the runway and then turn onto the nearest taxiway leading to the fixed-base operator (FBO).
Sequence of Events
As the aircraft was over the runway and slowing for touchdown, the controller directed the pilot to expedite the landing. In attempting to comply with this instruction, the aircraft contacted the runway surface with excessive force, resulting in a hard landing. The impact buckled the firewall of the aircraft, which was registered as N48257.
Pilot Communication
According to the pilot's report, she did not inform the tower controller of her intention to land long prior to the incident.
Conclusion
The hard landing and resulting damage occurred as described. The source does not provide any further analysis or determination of probable cause.
