Incident Details
A helicopter-rated private pilot was receiving flight instruction to add an airplane single-engine land rating to his license. At the time of the incident, the pilot had logged 38 hours in fixed-wing aircraft.
Sequence of Events
During his second touch-and-go landing approach, the pilot intended to perform a short-field landing. The pilot flared too high, causing the airplane to bounce. To arrest the bounce, the pilot lowered the nose of the aircraft. On the second bounce, the aircraft landed hard on the nose wheel, collapsing the nose wheel and causing the airplane to nose over.
Damage
The nose wheel collapsed as a result of the hard landing, and the aircraft nosed over. No further details regarding damage extent or injuries were provided in the source.
