Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that she made a normal approach and landing. The runway was 3,502 feet long by 60 feet wide. The traffic was light and she did not think wake turbulence was a factor. The landing seemed routine; however, she was surprised when the aircraft bounced and she attempted to "peg" the airplane to the runway. When the aircraft came to a stop, the propeller was damaged and the firewall and forward fuselage exhibited buckling damage. The surface wind was reported variable at 5 knots.
