The pilot reported that this was a third circuit of the day and that the previous circuits and landings were uneventful. During approach, the student pilot stated that the speed was kept at 70 knots with 3° flaps setting. The student further stated that the aircraft ballooned just before touchdown (on the runway numbers). During touch down, the aircraft bounced twice which caused the nose gear to bend and propeller blade tips to contact the ground.The student pilot elected to stop the aircraft by applying full brakes and steering it to right of the centreline. The aircraft came to a stop at the edge of the runway.
Probable Cause(s)
The aircraft’s height during the flare was too high, which resulted in a hard landing and a bounce.
Contributing Factor(s)
Incorrect technique used during landing.
Unstable approach by allowing the aircraft to balloon before touchdown
