Accident Overview
A pilot arrived at an airport and entered the traffic pattern to land on Runway 25. The reported wind was from the southwest at 10 knots. The first approach was characterized by a rough ride with fluctuating airspeed and rate of descent, causing the pilot to overshoot the runway. He subsequently initiated a go-around.
Pilot Report
After the go-around, the pilot set up for a second approach. The aircraft touched down and began a roll-out. However, the pilot reported that the plane then became airborne again, as if it had encountered a gust or wind shear. Shortly thereafter, the aircraft touched down hard.
Damage
The hard landing resulted in the nose gear being sheared off the aircraft.
