Incident Overview
A student pilot reported an incident during a landing approach to Runway 01. According to the pilot, the winds were from 320 degrees at 5 knots, gusting to 8 knots. The pilot extended full flaps and maintained a left-wing-low attitude to compensate for the crosswind.
Sequence of Events
During the landing, the aircraft lost lift and descended from approximately 15 to 20 feet above ground level (AGL). The pilot stated that power had been reduced to idle before the aircraft stalled and landed hard. The hard landing resulted in the collapse of the nose gear.
Pilot Actions
The pilot reported that the power was retarded to idle prior to the stall and hard landing. The approach was conducted with full flaps and a deliberate left-wing-low input to counteract the crosswind component.
Outcome
The aircraft sustained damage to the nose gear due to the hard landing. No further details are available regarding other damage or injuries.
