Probable cause
The student pilot's failure to maintain proper airspeed during landing and failure to execute a go-around in a timely manner.
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 student pilot noted his airspeed was fast on final approach and attempted to extend his flare to dissipate airspeed. The airplane bounced on the runway and as he attempted a go-around the airplane landed hard.
