NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that the airplane was high on final approach and she initiated a slip in order to lose altitude. She flared the airplane for landing; however, it sank "quickly" and hit the runway "very hard." The airplane subsequently bounced 4 or 5 times. She applied the brakes and was able to regain control. After exiting the airplane, she noticed that the nose wheel was flat. A post accident inspection revealed nose landing gear and firewall damage. The pilot reported that there were no failures or malfunctions associated with the airplane prior to the accident.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's inadequate landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing.
