During his solo landing, the student pilot was observed to pull the nose up to the landing attitude a little early, relative to the height above the runway, hold the landing attitude, and touch down hard enough to cause a bounced landing. A series of oscillatory, porpoising maneuvers resulted, and the nose gear separated. The airplane slid to a stop on the main landing gear and the nose cowl.
Probable Cause: A misjudged flare and the failure of the student pilot to use the proper recovery technique for a bounced landing, allowing the airplane to commence a porpoise, and the eventual collapse of the nose landing gear.
