Probable cause
Failure of the pilot to control the approach speed which resulted in a bounced landing. No recovery was made from the bounced landing, and the airplane was allowed to stall. The airplane then landed on the nose landing gear, which resulted in its overload failure.
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 plt stated the flt touched down fast 1/3 down the rwy, bounced, stalled, then touched down on the nose landing gear collapsing it. The plt did not file an accident report.
