Several years ago I investigated a Baron BE-55 hard landing accident that resultd in no injuries but Substantial damage. Turns out both pilots were currently flying for a 121 airline. The PIC just bought it and was letting his buddy fly it. His buddy flew an approach speed that was familiar to him (way too fast for a Baron). Flared high, bounced hard and then “forced it” to stay on the ground.

The moral is, please get some transition training from a competent instructor that has recent time in type. Please don’t think that you can just step into an unfamiliar aircraft and “know” how to fly it.
