Narrative

ON MAR/XA/00 AT APPROX XA15; I WAS INVOLVED IN A LNDG INCIDENT AT HICKS (T67); SAGINAW; TX. TO FAMILIARIZE MYSELF WITH THE M20K-262; I WAS IN THE L SEAT. ON FINAL FOR RWY 14; I WAS FOLLOWING THE PIC ON THE CTLS. WINDS AT THIS TIME WERE 210 DEGS AT 8 KTS. AS WE NEARED THE THRESHOLD; A TRAIN WAS XING ON THE TRACKS THAT CROSS ON THE N END OF THE FIELD. AS WE TRANSITIONED OVER THE MOVING TRAIN; I MADE A CTL INPUT TO THE YOKE IN RESPONSE TO THE AIR TURB CREATED BY THE TRAIN. THIS ACTION UPSET THE STABILIZED XWIND APCH THAT HAD BEEN SET UP. I CONTINUED MAKING CTL INPUTS (INCLUDING CHOPPING PWR). AS A RESULT; THE AIRPLANE CAME DOWN HARD ON THE R MAIN GEAR AND BEGAN TO PORPOISE. N THE SECOND BOUNCE; THE PIC CALLED FOR A GAR. HE THEN TOLD ME TO GET CLR OF THE CTLS. THE PIC WENT AROUND IN THE PATTERN AND LANDED SAFETY. THE RESULT OF THE FIRST BOUNCED LNDG WAS A SCRAPE OF THE R INNER GEAR DOOR. AT THE PRESENT TIME; ALTHOUGH NO DAMAGE ESTIMATE HAS BEEN FORMALIZED; THE DAMAGE APPEARS TO BE LESS THAN $200.
