The airplane made a bounced landing on runway 7. The student pilot stated that while on approach the airplane was "a bit high and fast." The student pilot reduced engine power and "felt" that it was "still ok to land." She reported that the airplane touched down and bounced hard twice. The airplane was now past midfield and the student pilot was not confident that the airplane could clear the trees at the end of the runway. Concerned that the next hard bounce could damage the gear and the airplane, the pilot steered the airplane off the runway onto the grass, attempted to maintain control as long as possible, and impacted bushes. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's improper flare, which resulted in a hard landing. An additional cause was the pilot's inadequate recovery from a bounced landing. Factors in the accident include the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll and the bushes.
