What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The student pilot stated that just before touchdown, the aircraft lost lift, causing the aircraft to land nose-down. This induced a porpoising which accelerated through three more bounces before the nose gear collapsed. The aircraft came to rest off the left side of the runway-14.
