## Probable cause

The pilot's failure to recover from a bounced landing which resulted in damage to the airplane.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Gear collapsed, landing
  - flare - misjudged, pilot in command
  - porpoise/pilot-induced oscillation - not recognized, pilot in command
  - recovery from bounced landing - not performed, pilot in command (cause)

## Analysis

The pilot stated that he touched down on the runway and the airplane bounced three times.  On the third bounce, the nose gear collapsed, and the airplane departed the runway to the right and settled in the grass.  He further stated that he was tired and failed to realize he was descending too fast which forced him to land long.
