Analysis
The student was practicing touch & go takeoffs and landings. On the fifth approach to a landing the student plt reported that the acft was a little high and he applied full flaps. The acft bounced on initial touch down. While attempting to recover from the bounced landing the propeller contacted the ry causing the nose wheel to collapse.
