NTSB Factual Report

While performing a full-stop landing, the solo student pilot's improper flare resulted in a "bounced landing." During the recovery, the airplane began to porpoise. The airplane's third contact with the runway occurred in a nose-low attitude, collapsing the airplane's nose landing gear. Damage was sustained to the airplane's firewall.

NTSB Probable Cause

Failure of the student pilot to apply appropriate actions following a bounced landing.
