Event Description
According to the pilot, the landing was performed with an excessive flare, leading to a hard touchdown. The aircraft then bounced at least once. During the bounce, the pilot briefly added power but decided to abort the attempted go-around. Subsequently, the airplane departed the left side of the runway. The nose landing gear collapsed and separated, causing the aircraft to nose over.
Pilot Statement
The pilot stated that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal flight. The pilot attributed the event to the high flare and hard landing.
Conclusion
The accident sequence involved a hard landing, bounce, runway excursion, and nose gear collapse. No other factors were identified from the pilot's account.
