Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
The student was conducting a landing to Inverness' runway 19, and after 2 balked landing attempts due to excessive airspeed, his third attempt resulted in a bounced landing and an excursion off the right runway edge. The airplane continued through the infield grass until encountering a depression that caused the propeller and nose landing gear to dig into the earth, resulting in a noseover. There were no mechanical defects with the airplane, precrash, and the student was not injured.

Probable Cause: a loss of directional control on landing due to the pilot's failure to execute a proper flare and recovery from the resultant bounced landing, causing the airplane to depart the runway, enter the uneven grass infield, and sustain a nose over.
