Analysis
The plt stated that on approach for landing the acft developed a high sink rate. The acft landed hard and bounced. The pilot said she had pushed the nose of the acft down to prevent it from stalling and did not apply power. The nose gear collapsed and the acft came to stop 1000 ft down the runway.
