Incident Overview
The pilot conducted a landing with full flaps deployed. Upon touchdown, the airplane started bouncing. The pilot applied additional power, but not to the extent required for a go-around. The bouncing persisted, and the right main landing gear subsequently collapsed. The airplane veered off the right side of the runway.
Sequence of Events
According to the investigation, the pilot set full flaps for landing. After initial contact with the runway, the airplane began to bounce. The pilot responded by adding power; however, the power increase was insufficient to achieve a go-around. The bouncing continued until the right main landing gear failed, causing the airplane to depart the runway to the right.
Pilot Statement
When interviewed, the pilot explained that he was cautious about applying full power with full flaps. He was concerned that doing so could lead to an uncontrollable pitch-up followed by a stall.
