While on final approach, a Cessna 182Q was observed to approach the runway at a high rate of speed, and during the landing bounced, before it climbed back into the traffic pattern. The pilot was then cleared to land a second time. During the second landing, "white smoke" and tire debris was observed to emanate from under the forward portion of the airplane. All of the airplane's systems were functioning properly. The pilot stated that a "loss of wind" made the airplane "suddenly" stop flying while it was 5 to 10 feet above the runway and that the nose landing gear had impacted the runway, substantially damaging the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper flare which resulted in a hard landing. A factor to the accident was the wind gusts.
