According to the student pilot good weather conditions prevailed at the time of the flight. Take-off from Runway 17 was uneventful, and the aircraft climbed to the circuit altitude. Before turning for finals, the student pilot broadcasted his intentions to FAGC air traffic controller (ATC). Afterreceiving clearance from the ATC, the student pilot turned finals and continued with theapproach. The student pilot reported that during the landing, he thought that the main wheels lhad already settled on the runway surface, but that was not the case. As a result, he releasedthe back pressure and the aircraft’s nose gear/wheel impacted the ground hard first and broke.That resulted in the propeller blades striking the ground. The aircraft slid on the nose before coming to a stop on the runway.
