Narrative:The airplane sustained substantial damage during a hard landing. The pilot reported she did a go-around on the first landing because she was too high. She reported, "During the second approach I used 20 degrees of flaps. The airplane bounced once and I decided to go around again. On the third approach, I used 10 degrees of flaps and the airplane bounced and then landed." Witnesses reported seeing the airplane "porpoise" down the runway during the first attempted landing, and then it did a go-around. On the second attempt the airplane was fast on final approach and it landed flat. The airplane bounced back in the air and porpoised down the runway. The airplane hit hard on the nose with a "crunch," and then it did a go-around. The witnesses reported the airplane did not climb more that 300-400 feet in the traffic pattern before attempting to land a third time. A witness reported that the pilot landed fast and the airplane "porpoised slightly with the tires bouncing between the mains and nose, but very mild in comparison." The pilot kept the airplane on the runway and taxied back to the hangar.
Probable Cause: The pilot failed to properly recover from a bounced landing which resulted in the airplane porpoising.
