Analysis
According to the student plt, approximately one-third down the rwy he flared too high, and the acft bounced and became airborne again. The plt decided to not attempt a go-around, and the acft contacted the rwy again. On the final bounce, the nose gear collapsed and the acft skidded approximately 100 feet left of the rwy centerline before coming to rest.
