The student pilot was conducting her second solo flight in the airplane. She had completed four uneventful full-stop landings; however, on the fifth landing attempt, she flared high and landed hard. The airplane began to porpoise and then departed the left side of the runway, where it nosed over and came to rest. The student pilot said she did not add power, or attempt a go-around during the landing attempt. The student pilot did not report any mechanical malfunctions with the airplane, and had 32 hours of total flight experience, all in make and model.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's improper flare and failure to recover from a bounced landing, which resulted in a nose over.
