AFTER RTRNG FROM A SOLO X-COUNTRY FLT, THE STUDENT PLT MADE AN APCH TO LAND ON RWY 17L. THE WIND WAS VARIABLE FROM 120 TO 180 DEG AT 19 KTS. THE PLT STATED THAT HE TURNED TO FINAL APCH & REALIZED HE WAS HIGH WITH THE WIND STRONGER THAN HE LIKED. HE EXTENDED FULL FLAPS & 'EASED BACK' POWER. THE APCH WAS STEEP & THE ACFT LANDED SOONER THAN THE PLT HAD EXPECTED. HE STATED THAT THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN AT AN ANGLE, BOUNCED TWICE, THEN STOPPED IN A NOSE DOWN ATTITUDE.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S IMPROPER FLARE AND IMPROPER RECOVERY FROM A BOUNCED LANDING. THE WIND CONDITION WAS CONSIDERED TO BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR.
