## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE NEWLY CERTIFICATED (SINGLE ENGINE AIRPLANE LAND) PRIVATE PILOT RETURNING FROM CROSS-COUNTRY TRIP LANDED AND BOUNCED, THEN PUSHED FORWARD ON THE STICK TO TRY AND KEEP THE AIRPLANE ON THE GROUND.  THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN WITH THE FREE CASTERING NOSE WHEEL CANTED OFF CENTER, AND WHICH PRODUCED A SHEAR LOAD SUFFICIENT TO SNAP THE BOLTS OFF OF THE WHEEL AND SEPARATE IT FROM THE AIRCRAFT.  THE AIRCRAFT NOSE THEN IMPACTED THE RUNWAY, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER AND ENGINE.
