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 student plt reported that after he returned from a x-country plt, he 'scooped' the acft during the flare, it stalled, then bounced on the rwy. He then made a go-around, and subsequently, landed from a normal apch. An exam of the acft revealed that the nosewheel tire had blown out, the nose gear was damaged & the eng mounts were bent. The hard landing occurred after the student had become disoriented on the last leg of the x-country flt, but was able to reorient himself & find his way to the destination.
