Summary:

皇冠体育app aircraft was landing on grass Runway 29, with the wind from the northwest at less than 8 mph. Following a 鈥済ood鈥� final approach at 70 kt, with full flap selected, the aircraft bounced on touchdown. 皇冠体育appreafter, the pilot was unaware of any anomalies with the aircraft beyond the fact that the elevator controls felt stiff.
