What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Upon landing the main (rear) wheels touched first and bounced back airborne, the next touchdown was flat. The aircraft came to a stop and the pilot felt something wrong with the front wheel. The pilot notified tower and ground crews towed the aircraft from the runway. Maintenance determined that the propeller had struck the ground; the nose wheel split in half, the nose gear strut was pushed up into the nose gear wheel well causing damage to the cowl and nose gear strut. Additional damage was noted to bent engine mounts. Since the incident the pilot has received additional training in a CE172RG focusing on traffic pattern and complex aircraft operations totaling 3.1 hours.
