NTSB Factual Report

The private certificated pilot was landing at the conclusion of a CFR Part 91 cross-country flight. The pilot reported that she flared too high and bounced the landing. During the recovery attempt, she said the right wing struck the runway, the airplane departed the runway surface, and then nosed down. The pilot indicated that the wind conditions were calm. The airplane received damage to the right wing and propeller.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's inadequate recovery from a bounced landing during the landing flare/touchdown, which resulted in a loss of control, the right wing striking the runway, and subsequent nose down when the airplane departed the runway.
