The pilot said that he made an approach into the airstrip after clearing a high tension [power] line by approximately 200 feet. The airplane's speed was approximately 70 miles per hour (mph). The airplane descended to the runway, touching down between 65 to 70 mph. The pilot said he bounced and floated before touching down again. 'I started to roll out, and crested a small hill [on the runway] with a dip on the other side of it.' The airplane became airborne again, began to settle, and then struck the nose gear. Examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to perform a proper recovery from the bounced landing, resulting in the airplane's nose gear striking the runway. A factor relating to the accident was the excessive airspeed maintained during the landing.
