Probable cause
The pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing, and improper flare, which resulted in a hard landing.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
During a landing on a private sod airstrip the airplane bounced twice, and on the second touchdown the nose wheel assembly collapsed, and the airplane nosed over. The pilot did not report any mechanical problems with the airplane.
