What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On pilots' second "solo" landing in CE-152 with CFI observing from side of runway, the CFI witnessed upon landing the aircraft bounced back into the air. The pilot appeared to lower the nose in an attempt to get the aircraft back onto the runway. The aircraft bounced a second time, and again the pilot appeared to drop the nose. The aircraft remained on the runway, and began to track to the left of centerline. The aircraft nosed over and the propeller impacted the ground due to the buckled engine mount from hard nose landing.
