During the landing flare, the student pilot elected to abort the landing because the winds had shifted to a quartering tailwind. He then increased engine power and retracted the flaps. As the airplane approached the departure end of the runway, the pilot determined that the airplane did not have a sufficient climb rate, so he decided to land the airplane. During the second landing attempt, the airplane impacted the runway on the nose landing gear, which collapsed, and resulted in substantial damage to the airframe. The pilot did not report any mechanical anomalies associated with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper flare, which resulted in a hard landing.
