Incident Overview
A student pilot reported a sequence of events during a flight involving multiple approaches and landings. After completing a go-around and two landings in calm wind conditions, the pilot initiated a third approach. During this approach, the aircraft was lower and slower than usual, with airspeed below 60 knots.
Sequence of Events
While on final approach, the pilot realized that the flaps were not fully extended. To correct this, the pilot added the last increment of flaps, approximately 10 degrees, while the engine power was at idle. Following this flap addition, the aircraft touched down hard, then bounced, ballooned upward, and bounced again. The impact caused the nose landing gear to collapse, and the aircraft came to rest on its nose.
Aircraft Damage
The collapse of the nose gear resulted in the aircraft resting on its nose. No further details about damage extent were provided in the source.
Pilot Experience
The pilot was a student pilot, and the flight occurred during a training session. The source did not specify the aircraft type, registration, date, location, or any injuries.
