What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 04/18/15 at approximately 1650 local time, N9299U, a Cessna 150M, was attempting to land on runway 26 at the lewis landing airport(NK79). The aircraft had a hard landing and collapsed the nose wheel. This caused the propeller and left wing to strike the turf. Damage to the aircraft included the nosewheel, aircraft engine mount, firewall, left wing root, and left wing tip.
The airmen stated that on return to his home field he over flew the field to check the wind direction. He set up on downwind and realized on final approach that he was high. He tried to correct and continued the approach. Upon touching down he bounced and added power to correct. When he came back down, he landed on the nose wheel causing it to collapse. This resulted in the strike of the propeller and left wing before coming to a stop.
