The pilot departed from Springs aerodrome for Fly Inn Air Park with the intention of hangaring his aircraft after landing. On the approach to runway 06 at Fly Inn Air Park, he saw that there was a strong crosswind. During the first attempt at landing, the pilot opted to go around and reposition for another landing. On the second approach, he configured the aircraft with full flap. He initiated the landing flare and noticed that the surface wind had increased. He could not decide whether to initiate a go-around or land, and while he hesitated, the aircraft descended onto the runway. It touched down hard and bounced twice before the pilot brought it to a stop. When he tried to vacate the runway, he found that he was unable to steer the aircraft. He shut down the engine and climbed out to do an inspection. He found that the propeller had been damaged due to a prop strike and the nose oleo had partially collapsed. An on-site investigation by the Accident Division revealed that the oleo strut had damaged the engine firewall. Probable Cause Poor landing technique which resulted in a hard landing. Contributory factor: Variable crosswind conditions led to the pilot becoming distracted during the landing phase.
