"Bounced landing"?
What's that?
It's when you land too fast, and the plane still has enough lift to
bounce you back up; you can start oscillating or 'gallop' if you use
elevator to get back down, since lowering the nose adds speed & lift
again. Can be a nasty roller-coaster ride along the runway.
You need to _hold_ a nose-up attitude, and add throttle to stop the
oscillation. Go around if the field is too short for a second touchdown.
