A bounced landing is a condition where the aircraft lands on the runway, but instead of rolling on the surface after touchdown, it rebounds/bounces off the ground. This can happen for several reasons: Landing Too Fast At high speeds, your aircraft may be unable to slow down enough before touching down on the runway.
