Approach and Landing Attempt
The flight was conducting a simulated instrument landing system (ILS) approach to runway 35R. The wind was reported from 030 degrees at 9 knots, gusting to 15 knots. Upon reaching decision height, the pilot transitioned to a visual approach and reduced power slightly to facilitate the descent. During the flare, the airplane ballooned, prompting the pilot to add a small amount of power while maintaining the attitude. The subsequent touchdown was hard, followed by a bounce, and the airplane contacted the runway on the nose wheel.
Go-Around and Runway Excursion
The pilot applied full power to reject the landing. The airplane began to drift left of the runway centerline. The safety pilot assumed control and steered the airplane back to the centerline. Upon touchdown, the airplane veered to the left, departed the runway surface, and skidded to a halt.
