The airplane was damaged during landing and a collision with a runway light. The pilot said, "I bounced on initial ground contact. I applied full power hoping to go around but when I looked down the runway, I wasn't sure if I would safely clear the obstacles at the end of the runway. I tried to control the bouncing, but the plane started to porpoise. I realized the nose gear was damaged and I skidded off the edge of the runway until it stopped." A postaccident examination of the aircraft did not reveal any anomalies that could be associated with a preexisting condition. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunction in his written report.
Probable Cause: the improper recovery from the bounced landing and the porpoise encountered by the pilot. Factors were the misjudged flare by the pilot and the runway light.
