Narrative:

For the past yr, the majority of my flight time in this aircraft has been either solo or under the hood in preparation for my instrument rating. Little time has been devoted to flying around in the pattern to practice lndgs. For the flight when this incident occurred, the skylane was heavy (4 passenger) but within its limits for weight and center of gravity. During the landing flare, the airplane stalled above the runway resulting in a hard bounce. In an effort to salvage the landing, the nosewheel struck hard, resulting in a propeller strike and blown tire. If I had added 5 KTS to my approach speed I think the stall would have been prevented and, more importantly, I should have conducted a go around. I made the classic mistake of attempting to save an imperfect landing.

Title: A C182RG SINGLE PLT STALLED OVER HIO'S RWY DURING LNDG.

Narrative: FOR THE PAST YR, THE MAJORITY OF MY FLT TIME IN THIS ACFT HAS BEEN EITHER SOLO OR UNDER THE HOOD IN PREPARATION FOR MY INST RATING. LITTLE TIME HAS BEEN DEVOTED TO FLYING AROUND IN THE PATTERN TO PRACTICE LNDGS. FOR THE FLT WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED, THE SKYLANE WAS HVY (4 PAX) BUT WITHIN ITS LIMITS FOR WT AND CTR OF GRAVITY. DURING THE LNDG FLARE, THE AIRPLANE STALLED ABOVE THE RWY RESULTING IN A HARD BOUNCE. IN AN EFFORT TO SALVAGE THE LNDG, THE NOSEWHEEL STRUCK HARD, RESULTING IN A PROP STRIKE AND BLOWN TIRE. IF I HAD ADDED 5 KTS TO MY APCH SPD I THINK THE STALL WOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, I SHOULD HAVE CONDUCTED A GAR. I MADE THE CLASSIC MISTAKE OF ATTEMPTING TO SAVE AN IMPERFECT LNDG.
