Aircraft involved
Probable cause & findings
The pilot’s improper landing flare, which resulted in a bounced landing and the nose landing gear collapse.
Factual narrative
The pilot reported that, during landing, the airplane “bounced”; however, he felt that he had “full control of the glide for the rest of the landing”. The airplane bounced again after which the propeller struck the ground and the nose landing gear collapsed when the airplane stopped. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the forward fuselage. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database Retrieved: 2026-02-12
