Narrative:
The incident occurred following an approach into runway 27 at iah. While initiating the flare, I pulled the power back and landed the plane. In retrospect, the landing would have gone more smoothly if I had pulled the power back slightly slower. I landed the plane firmly, and we bounced once. On the bounce, my captain took control for the rollout segment. While we both thought the landing poor, we were not worried excessively. After our parking checks, the captain debriefed me, and we discussed aural cues for me to better identify the appropriate power setting for the final round out. After our terminating walkaround and in the interest of safety, the captain asked maintenance personnel to look at the plane. They reported no problem with the plane.

Title: A PORPOISED LNDG AFTER A BOUNCE WAS DISCUSSED BY THE E120 FLT CREW WITH A POSTFLT WALKAROUND INSPECTION BEING MADE AT IAH, TX.
Narrative: THE INCIDENT OCCURRED FOLLOWING AN APCH INTO RWY 27 AT IAH. WHILE INITIATING THE FLARE, I PULLED THE PWR BACK AND LANDED THE PLANE. IN RETROSPECT, THE LNDG WOULD HAVE GONE MORE SMOOTHLY IF I HAD PULLED THE PWR BACK SLIGHTLY SLOWER. I LANDED THE PLANE FIRMLY, AND WE BOUNCED ONCE. ON THE BOUNCE, MY CAPT TOOK CTL FOR THE ROLLOUT SEGMENT. WHILE WE BOTH THOUGHT THE LNDG POOR, WE WERE NOT WORRIED EXCESSIVELY. AFTER OUR PARKING CHKS, THE CAPT DEBRIEFED ME, AND WE DISCUSSED AURAL CUES FOR ME TO BETTER IDENT THE APPROPRIATE PWR SETTING FOR THE FINAL ROUND OUT.
