WATCH: Man captures plane bouncing on runway while attempting to land at TPA
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA)— A pilot prevented a crash at the Tampa International Airport after a small plane started bouncing on the tarmac.
A video from Steven Markovich showed a red Cirrus SR22 propeller aircraft attempting to land on March 27 at TPA.
The airplane is seen bouncing more than once before going back into the air and landing smoothly the second time.
'Immediately upon touching down the aircraft began to bounce several times,' Markovich told Storyful. 'Wisely the pilot aborted the landing and did a go-around. Second time was a perfect landing.'
The aircraft left from North Myrtle Beach and landed at 10:33 a.m., according to flight information.
'This appears to be a small private jet executing what is called a 'go-around' and is not uncommon,' said Emily Nipps, Director of Communications at the Tampa International Airport.
Nipps said no emergency response was activated that day.
