The airplane landed hard and porpoised during the student pilot's solo cross-country flight, which damaged the firewall. The pilot reported that he touched down on the main landing gear and positioned the yoke into the full aft position. The airplane porpoised, and then landed hard. The pilot noted that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane. The pilot felt that the accident could have been prevented if he had applied power after the porpoising began.
Probable Cause: the pilot's misjudged landing flare, which resulted in a pilot induced porpoise oscillation and hard landing.
