Factual narrative

THE ACFT BOUNCED DURING A HARD LANDING AND STALLED ABOUT 10 FEET AGL. THE SECOND CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY OCCURRED WITH THE NOSE GEAR FIRST. THE NOSE GEAR THEN COLLAPSED. THIS WAS A TRAINING FLIGHT WITH A SOLO STUDENT PILOT AS PILOT IN COMMAND. THE WEATHER WAS VMC AND NO FLT PLAN WAS FILED. THE STUDENT HAD MADE 6 TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS AND SOME AIR WORK BEFORE COMING IN FOR A FULL STOP LANDING. A WITNESS REPORTED THAT THE APPROACH WAS NORMAL BUT THE ACFT WAS FLARED TOO HIGH. IT HIT ON THE MAIN GEAR AND BOUNCED ABOUT 10-15 FEET, STALLED AND IMPACTED THE RUNWAY NOSE LOW. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
