What happened
The incident occurred during a landing phase of flight involving a student pilot. According to the pilot's report, he initiated the flare for touchdown at an altitude that was too high. As the aircraft began to drift laterally, the pilot pushed the control column forward to lower the nose. The airplane then made initial contact with the ground on its nose gear first. Following this impact, the aircraft bounced back into the air.
Attempting to recover from the bounce, the student pilot applied further control inputs. However, the aircraft entered a stall condition and dropped abruptly to the ground. The report notes that the student pilot had accumulated 30 hours of total flight time at the time of the accident. Recent experience was limited, with only 2 hours of flight time logged within the preceding 90 days prior to this event.
The investigation
The available source material does not provide specific details regarding mechanical examination or post-accident inspection findings. The narrative relies entirely on the pilot's account of the flight dynamics and control inputs during the final moments of the landing attempt.
