SHORTLY AFTER TURNING CROSSWIND TO DOWNWIND, AT ABOUT 1000' AGL, ENGINE RAN EXTREMELY ROUGH. PILOT APPLIED CARBURETOR HEAT WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO RUN ROUGHER SO HE IMMEDIATELY TURNED CARBURETOR HEAT OFF.PILOT CONTACTED TOWER TO LAND IMMEDIATELY. PILOT CLEARED FOR RWY 32. HOWEVER, AIRCRAFT WAS HIGH, FAST, AND ABOUT 1/4 MILE OFF THE APPROACH END OF RWY 32. AIRCRAFT LANDED MORE THAN HALFWAY DOWN RWY 32. AIRCRAFT HIT HARD; BOUNCED; THEN AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO PORPOISE. ON 4TH BOUNCE, AIRCRAFT HIT NOSE HARD AND NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
