The student pilot was on a solo cross-country flight and was conducting a touch-and-go landing at an enroute airport. The approach was "normal with slight turbulence and a quartering headwind." His flare was "straight down the runway, however [he] struck the nose wheel first and started to porpoise." The airplane porpoised several times and struck the edge of the runway hard, collapsing the nose landing gear and buckling the firewall. He maneuvered the airplane back on to the runway and taxied it to the parking area.
Probable Cause: the student pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control during landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing. Contributing factors include the porpoise and subsequent bounced landing and the student pilot's lack of total experience.
