The pilot was landing on runway 34 at his private airstrip (2,100 ft. x 50 ft., dirt). He said the wind, as reported by a nearby ASOS (Automated Surface Observing System), was from 300 degrees at 7 knots, with gusts to 16 knots. He approached at 65 KIAS (knots indicated airspeed), using 20 degrees of flaps. "On short final I experienced a sharp gust of wind and increased power and added more left rudder to compensate," the pilot wrote. The airplane touched down 12-15 knots too fast and the airplane began to porpoise halfway down the runway. The nose gear hit "sharply." The pilot taxied to his hangar. Post accident examination revealed the firewall was wrinkled and the propeller was bent.
Probable Cause: an inadvertent pilot-induced porpoise and his improper remedial action. A contributing factor was the wind gust.
