| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that, while landing, the airplane encountered an 'updraft' which 'lifted' the airplane. The airplane subsequently came down and made a hard bounce. The pilot corrected, flared a second time, and landed the airplane. During the landing rollout, as he released back pressure, the propeller struck the runway. The pilot shut the airplane down, exited, and noticed the nose landing gear was gone. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the forward fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to control the airplane during the landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing.
