Factual Information

The public use airplane was landing during an intermediate stop while conducting a law enforcement surveillance mission. During a short field landing the airplane landed hard and bounced. The pilot attempted to go around, but he determined there was not enough distance remaining to clear terrain off the end of the runway and elected to abort the go around. The airplane bounced a second time and came to rest on the side of the runway. Examination of the airplane revealed damage to the engine firewall.

Probable Cause and Findings

The pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing.
