I do not care what type of machine you are operating, they all come with an operators manual. Come on? Bounced 3 times??? The operators manual for this machine does not expect it to work properly under these conditions, clearly human judgment WAS at fault! This is not speculation. Like I said above in my personal largest bounce we stalled--- the aircraft is in the air and not flying any more!!! As is typical one wing stalls first placing the FULL weight of the aircraft on 2 to 4 tyres and one out of the 3 gear the AIRCRAFT IS DESIGNED TO LAND ON!!!!!!!! A simple comparison, driving on the interstate and an accident happens just in front of you at 6 car lengths and you are in a car, you hit your brakes and avoid, If you were in a fully loaded semi at 6 car lengths all hell would break loose thus you operate the semi with greater distance and care. Operate your machine with competence!
