The danger here is after your bounce, your airspeed is low and you're coming down with a high nose up attitude and you risk a tail strike and loss of control. ![]() If you're too fast, you tend to push the nose down and cause the aircraft to be too flat in the flare, so when you hit the runway with the main gear (and possible the nose gear), the wings are still flying and you start flying again(the bounce). The VRef of an aircraft is there for a reason.to help the pilot set up the aircraft in a proper attitude for that main gear touchdown. A bounced landing is usually caused by poor airspeed management and coming in too fast and too flat. ![]() A bounce means that you're dropping too fast, which is usually a case of the nose being too high and airspeed too low.Īctually, it's the other way around.
