A Cessna 550 Citation II jet, N550DW, conducted an emergency landing at Oklahoma City-Will Rogers World Airport (OKC), following a botched landing at nearby Oklahoma City-Wiley Post Airport, OK (PWA). The pilot and three passengers were not injured.
The pilot reported that he had recently completed his initial training, and the accident flight was his first flight in the airplane. The pilot entered the traffic pattern with the autopilot engaged and was told by the co-pilot to "keep it tight." The autopilot did not command a steep enough bank, and the pilot disconnected the autopilot in an attempt to align with the runway centerline. On final approach about 50 ft above ground level (agl), the airplane was aligned to the right of the runway centerline. The airplane landed hard, bounced multiple times, exited the runway, and impacted a runway sign. The pilot then executed a go-around and landed without further incident at OKC. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right
wing spar.
Probable Cause: The pilots improper landing flare, which resulted in a hard, bounced landing, runway excursion, and subsequent collision with a runway sign. Contributing to the accident was the pilots lack of experience in the airplane, the unstabilized approach, and inadequate crew resource management.
