Incident Overview
The operator reported that the pilot was conducting a Civil Air Patrol check ride when the incident occurred. The pilot was demonstrating a short field landing to a designated spot.
Sequence of Events
During the demonstration, the pilot attempted to stretch the glide of the airplane. This caused the airspeed to dissipate to the point of stall. The airplane then bounced hard on the runway. Following the bounce, a go-around was executed.
Subsequently, the pilot flew to another airport and performed a full stop landing. It was only after this landing that the damage to the airplane was discovered.
Damage
Inspection revealed damage to the airplane's firewall and fuselage. No further details about the extent of the damage were provided by the operator.
The pilot was alone on the aircraft during the check ride; no other occupants were reported. The operator did not specify any injuries.
