Analysis
During a landing, the student plt did not use the flaps as he was taught. As a result, the landing occurred further down the rwy & at a higher speed. During the landing, the acft bounced, then touched down nose 1st & bounced 2 more times. The student found that the elevator & aileron controls were binding & requested to taxi back to the ramp. An exam revealed that the nose gear had been driven up & back, causing the controls to bind.
