Probable cause
The pilot's improper level off and his improper recovery from a bounced 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
The pilot was landing at the 3400 foot asphalt, strip for a planned fuel and food stop. He reported that the airplane landed hard & bounced. On the second touch down the nose gear buckled, the windshield broke, & the right propeller struck the runway. When the airplane yawed right, the pilot added full power & executed an aborted landing. Another approach & landing was made, uneventfully. Once on the ground, the pilot said, the airplane was hard to taxi.
