| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The student pilot was attempting to land when the airplane's descent rate increased, resulting in a hard landing and a bounce. The airplane nosed over prior to the touchdown, allowing the propeller to strike the runway and causing the nose landing gear to buckle and collapse before the airplane skidded to a stop. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the firewall. A postaccident examination did not reveal any anomalies with the airplane that would have prevented normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain proper approach speed and his inadequate recovery from a bounced landing.
