The student pilot contacted air traffic control (ATC), and was instructed to enter a right downwind for runway 4, a 7,501-foot-long, 150-foot-wide, asphalt runway. Shortly thereafter, the airplane's radio's stopped working. The student pilot attempted to troubleshoot the problem, and was able to receive, but not transmit over the radio. He elected to land on runway 4, however, he overheard ATC clear another airplane to land, that was on a 5 mile final approach. The student pilot stated that he was "nervous" about the other airplane, turned a very early base leg, and approached "high and fast." The airplane contacted the runway hard, and began to bounce. It then departed the right side of the runway. Examination of the airplane, which included a radio check, did not reveal any discrepancies. A weather observation taken at the airport, about the time of the accident, included winds from 340 degrees at 8 knots.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's improper flare and improper recover from a bounced landing. Factors in this accident were the crosswind condition and the partial failure of the airplane's transceiver, as reported by the pilot.
