Accident Summary
A pilot practicing touch-and-go landings experienced a hard landing that resulted in the collapse of the nose landing gear. The incident occurred after the aircraft overshot the runway during the turn to final approach. The pilot was making power and alignment adjustments as the airplane passed over the threshold. Just before touchdown, he aligned the airplane with the runway. However, a high sink rate caused the airplane to land hard. The aircraft bounced, and during the subsequent touchdown, the nose landing gear collapsed. The airplane then slid to the left and off the side of the runway.
Sequence of Events
The pilot reported that he was practicing touch-and-go landings when he overshot the runway during the turn to final approach. As the airplane passed over the runway threshold, the pilot was actively making adjustments to align the aircraft with the runway and manage power. Just prior to touchdown, he succeeded in aligning the airplane. Despite this, the airplane encountered a high sink rate, leading to a hard impact with the runway. The airplane bounced, and upon the second touchdown, the nose landing gear collapsed.
Damage and Outcome
After the nose landing gear collapsed, the airplane slid to the left and off the side of the runway. The report did not specify the extent of damage to the aircraft or any injuries to occupants. No further details regarding the aftermath were provided.
