DURING THE FIRST SOLO APPROACH TO LAND, THE STUDENT HAD A HARD MAIN GEAR LANDING MAKING THE AIRPLANE TO BOUNCE. THE STUDENT DID NOT CORRECTED NOR INITIATED A GO AROUND. AS A RESULT OF THE BOUNCE, THE AIRPLANE LANDED NOSE GEAR FIRST, STRIKING THE RUNWAY WITH THE PROPELLER AND SUBSEQUENTLY COLLAPSING THE NOSE GEAR.
