Narrative:The airplane sustained substantial damage when its nose gear collapsed following a hard landing. The pilot reported the airplane touched down very hard and bounced. The pilot attempted to land the airplane, but the left wingtip and the nose landing gear impacted the terrain first. The nose landing gear collapsed and the airplane skidded to a stop.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper flare and inadequate recovery from a bounced landing. A factor contributing to the accident was the collapse of the nose landing gear strut.
