## 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

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

- Nose gear collapsed, landing - flare/touchdown
  - airspeed - excessive, pilot in command (cause)
  - recovery from bounced landing - not performed, pilot in command (cause)
  - stall - not corrected, pilot in command (cause)
  - landing gear,nose gear - overload

## 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.
