| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that he landed the airplane with full flaps, which he usually did not do, and believed that the full flaps created an excessive approach descent rate. Upon touchdown, the airplane bounced several times, and was hard to taxi after exiting the runway. A post landing examination by the pilot revealed structural damage to the firewall and fuselage.
The pilot reported that prior to the landing, there were no mechanical anomalies with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's excessive descent rate during approach, which resulted in a hard landing.
