Narrative:
I was flying the plane, small aircraft X, from the right seat, approach to landing, full flaps. With crosswind when I flared to land, I bounced on the runway twice. During the second bounce I put in power to correct landing. By that time, I guess, the airspeed had decreased so that the plane had stalled. The plane bounced on the grass, nose gear collapsed, propeller struck ground and left fiberglass wing tip received 2 cracks. No one was hurt and I contacted the FAA immediately.

Title: PLT OF SMA FLYING FROM RIGHT SEAT ELECTS FULL FLAP CROSSWIND LNDG AT 1800 BY 60' AIRSTRIP.
Narrative: I WAS FLYING THE PLANE, SMA X, FROM THE RIGHT SEAT, APCH TO LNDG, FULL FLAPS. WITH XWIND WHEN I FLARED TO LAND, I BOUNCED ON THE RWY TWICE. DURING THE SECOND BOUNCE I PUT IN PWR TO CORRECT LNDG. BY THAT TIME, I GUESS, THE AIRSPD HAD DECREASED SO THAT THE PLANE HAD STALLED. THE PLANE BOUNCED ON THE GRASS, NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED, PROP STRUCK GND AND LEFT FIBERGLASS WING TIP RECEIVED 2 CRACKS. NO ONE WAS HURT AND I CONTACTED THE FAA IMMEDIATELY.
