The student pilot reported that while practicing touch and go landings, he 'came in a little faster than normalâ on the 7th landing. During touchdown, the airplane bounced several times, each bounce 'harder/higherâ than the previous. He attempted to perform a abort the landing but the nose landing gear struck the ground 'hardâ and the propeller struck the ground. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the forward fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's improper landing flare and improper recovery from a bounced landing, which resulted in a hard landing.
