The solo student pilot reported that, during final approach to land, he realized that the airplane was too high and that he had not added “enough flare." The airplane landed nosewheel first during the touchdown and then started to porpoise. The student conducted a go-around, entered the traffic pattern, and landed without further incident.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage aft of the firewall.
The student reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
About the time of the accident, the wind was from 100° at 3 knots, and the pilot was landing the airplane on runway 27L.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's failure maintain the proper pitch attitude during landing, which resulted in the airplane porpoising.
