Incident Overview
During a dual instructional flight, a flight instructor (CFI) observed a student pilot perform four satisfactory touch-and-go landings. Based on these demonstrations, the CFI decided to solo the student. It was later noted that the student did not hold a valid medical certificate or a student pilot certificate at the time.
Flight Sequence
The CFI instructed the student to conduct one solo touch-and-go landing followed by a full stop landing. According to the CFI, the student flew a normal traffic pattern. However, on the landing attempt, the student executed a hard touchdown. This hard landing was immediately followed by a high bounce.
Events After Impact
The aircraft began to porpoise, oscillating vertically. After six or seven such oscillations, the airplane impacted the runway nose-first. Following the nose-first impact, the aircraft came to rest with the nose landing gear collapsed.
Aircraft Condition
The accident resulted in substantial damage to the nose gear assembly. No further details regarding injuries or other damage were provided in the source.
