| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that he returned to the departure airport after the carburetor heat control failed during the local flight. During landing, the airplane bounced two or three times. The pilot stated that on the last touchdown the nose gear collapsed, dug in, and the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted. The FAA inspector reported that the nose landing gear failure appeared to be the result of a very hard landing.
Probable Cause: the pilot's improper level off and recovery from a bounced landing.
