Analysis
The plt stated that he was about to conduct his first touch-&-go ldg after a local solo training flt. On the first ldg, he said he made a 'slight bounce' & he leveled the acft & set up for another flare. He said the acft touched down again on the mains but when the nose gear came down, it collapsed. There are no known witnesses to the accident. The surface winds at the time of the accident were listed as 130 degs at 9 KTS, or a 50 deg right x-wind. A post accident exam of the nose gear assy revealed no evidence of any preimpact malfunction or failure & inspection revealed damage to the nose wheel was consistent with a landing on the nose wheel. The student plt had a total of about 47 hrs.
