What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot stated on approach she a little high, which resulted in excess speed on touchdown. The aircraft bounced on first touchdown. The second bounce was more severe which caused the aircraft to increase in altitude. This caused the aircraft to land in a nose down attitude which caused the nose gear to collapse and the propeller to strike the ground. Aircraft damage consisted of nose gear collapse, firewall structure damage and both propeller blades struck the runway.
