The personal flight entered the traffic pattern for a full stop landing at the destination airport. The pilot reported that the winds were light and variable and 'Upon touchdown a/c settled abruptly to the left and became unstable. The a/c stayed on center of runway then turned hard right.' A witness stated that the aircraft made a hard landing followed by a bounce of approximately 4-5 feet. He added that after another hard contact, the aircraft then veered to the right and skidded off the west side of the runway.
Probable Cause: the inadequate flare and the go-around not performed by the pilot.
