THE STUDENT PILOT WAS ATTEMPTING A FULL STOP LANDING AFTER A SERIES OF TOUCH-AND-GO LANDINGS. THE STUDENT'S FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR WROTE IN HIS REPORT TO THE NTSB THAT THE STUDENT RELATED TO HIM IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT THAT HE MADE A FULL FLAP APPROACH AND FAILED TO FLARE. THE AIRPLANE LANDED HARD, BOUNCED, LANDED HARD AGAIN, BOUNCED AGAIN, AND FINALLY LANDED HARD ON THE NOSEWHEEL, COLLAPSING THE NOSE GEAR.
Probable Cause: the student pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing. A factor associated with the accident is the student pilot's misjudged landing flare.
