Probable cause
The pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing. Factors were: excessive airspeed and the pilot's lack of total experience.
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
According to the pilot's statement, she made two attempts to land but went around because of too much airspeed. The pilot said 'the third time I landed with too much airspeed, bounced, pushed the nose down, collapsed the nose gear, the prop hit the runway. The plane skidded to a stop and I got out'.
