Incident Overview
A student pilot was conducting landing practice at the home base airport, performing approaches to runway 22R. The first attempt was too high, prompting a go-around. The pilot reported that the second approach "seemed correct." Witnesses observed the airplane bounce twice on the runway before the nosegear failed.
Pilot Background
The student pilot had accumulated 104 hours of total flight time, all of which were in the accident airplane. She had satisfactorily completed a stage check 73 days before the incident.
Sequence of Events
After returning to the home base airport, the pilot entered the traffic pattern for runway 22R. The initial approach was too high, so a go-around was executed. On the second approach, the pilot believed the approach was correct. However, upon touchdown, the airplane bounced twice, and the nosegear subsequently failed.
Conclusion
The incident involved a landing bounce sequence that led to the failure of the nose landing gear. No further details are provided regarding the cause of the bounces or the specific damage to the aircraft.
