After touchdown, the aircraft began a series of bounces. The pilot initially attempted to control the aircraft with the elevators but then applied full power to go around. However, the aircraft struck the ground in a nose-down attitude, tearing off the nose wheel and bending the propeller blades. The pilot was relatively inexperienced in the aircraft type. The circuit was poorly judged and resulted in a steep final approach, at a low power setting, being flown. Following the misjudged landing flare, the pilot delayed in carrying out a go-around.
