The last time those contributing to this thread encountered bounces on landing, some more frequency than others, was probably during their first 20+ hours of basic flying training.

Bounce, decaying airspeed, select the appropriate attitude and apply power (and a touch of right rudder) ~ escape from danger, and climb away. Remember?

Automation in recent accidents has a lot to answer for, as it appears to wipe clean the memory of what you were taught (the basics) in the first place.

And as Cygnet46 (as was at PIK) would say of aircraft "it is just an aeroplane"

Swiss cheese..............
