NTSB Factual Report

The student pilot, who was on a solo flight, performed two normal take-off and landings; however, on the third landing, the airplane hit the runway hard and bounced. Following the second bounce the student initiated a go-around. The student pilot continued around the traffic pattern and did a “normal” landing. An inspection of the airplane, following the accident, revealed that the propeller tips were slightly damaged, the nosewheel tire was flat, and the firewall area sustained structural damage.

NTSB Probable Cause

The student pilot's improper flare resulting in a bounced landing.
