Incident Overview
A commercial pilot, holding 1,118 hours of flight experience, was cleared by the airport tower controller to land on Runway 03. The controller reported that the wind was variable from 090 to 130 degrees at 8 knots. The pilot acknowledged with the remark, "cleared to land if I can get down there."
Landing and Sequence of Events
The pilot executed a landing that resulted in a hard bounce. Approximately 2,248 feet along the 4,747-foot-long, 100-foot-wide runway, a right propeller strike occurred. In response to the bounce, the pilot initiated an aborted landing. During this attempted go-around, the pilot lost control of the aircraft, which subsequently veered off the runway and impacted the roof of the airport's terminal building.
Post-Impact Examination
An examination of the wreckage revealed that the landing gear was in the full-extended position and the flaps were set to 25 degrees of extension. Continuity was established to all flight controls. Examination of the engines and propellers found no discrepancies, and no pre-impact anomalies were noted with the airframe.
