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 acft was landed hard twice and on the 2nd touchdown the nose gear collapsed. The 1st landing had been nose gear 1st,followed by a go-around and the gear appeared bent. On the second landing the nose gear again hit first and this time itcollapsed. This was the 2nd solo flt for this student pilot in his 39 hours of flying. The training school recommended that first time solo students take a pre-solo check ride for an added overview of their proficiency.
