THE ACFT WAS OBSERVED IN A HIGH, POWER-ON APCH. ACCORDING TO A PROFESSIONAL PLT, WHO WAS A WITNESS, THE ACFT APPEARED ASIF IT WOULD LAND LONG. HE REPORTED THAT POWER WAS REDUCED AT ABOUT 50 FT AGL & THE ACFT STALLED, THEN IT LANDED HARD, BOUNCED HIGH & CONTINUED TO PROPOISE A NUMBER OF TIMES. AFTER ABOUT THE 6TH BOUNCE, THE PLT INITIATED A GO-AROUND. THE ACFT LIFTED OFF NEAR THE END OF THE RWY, BUT THE PLANE HAD INSUFFICIENT THRUST TO ATTAIN ALT.
