According to the student pilot, while performing touch and go landings at his host airport, the airplane sustained a hard landing. He stated that the first of two landings was flat and the airplane bounced, but the subsequent takeoff was normal. He reported that during the second landing, "I felt that there was something wrong with the tire, so I stopped, followed the checklist to shut down the engine and proceeded to contact tower and request assistance." A post flight inspection revealed that the airplane sustained substantial damage to the fire wall.
The pilot reported that there were no mechanical failures or anomalies prior to flight that would have prevented normal operation.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's failure to maintain pitch control resulting in a hard landing and damage to the airplane firewall.
