Incident Overview
A student pilot reported that during a landing with full flaps, the airplane bounced while flaring. After the initial bounce, the aircraft bounced a second time. On the third bounce, the nose wheel made contact with the runway surface.
Post-Landing Actions
Following the sequence of bounces, the pilot was able to taxi the airplane off the runway to the ramp. It was upon reaching the ramp that damage to the nose gear, propeller, and firewall was discovered.
Pilot's Reflection
The student pilot noted that in a similar situation in the future, she would execute a go-around rather than attempting to complete the landing.
Aircraft Damage
The discovered damage was limited to the nose gear assembly, the propeller, and the firewall structure. No other damage items were reported.
