Analysis

The aircraft bounced twice while landing on runway 36 and nosed over after the third bounce. Pilot reports being high on final with 20 degrees flaps so she applied full flaps and steepened glide angle. She also reports a northwest crosswind at 15 to 20 knots, and that the air was 'rough from thermals coming off of the trees, fields and highway south of runway.'
