| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot approached the runway but did not flare the aircraft enough during the landing, resulting in a hard touchdown at about 50 m after the threshold. The aircraft ballooned and touched down again at about 130 m after the threshold. The nose landing gear departed from the aircraft at 165 m from the threshold of the runway after another bounce. The aircraft eventually came to a standstill at 200m from the threshold of the runway. The propeller and the left wing tip contacted the ground, but no persons were injured. The pilot was very experienced on military aircraft but had limited experience on small civilian aircraft and only 5.2 hours on this type of aircraft. PROBABLE CAUSE: Due to poor technique during the approach and landing the aircraft was landed excessively hard.
