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 acft nosed over after bouncing off the rwy during landing. The plt said he landed long and fast and was feeling apprehensive; when the acft bounced he released back pressure on the stick which caused a greater bounce and an excursion off the rwy. The plt used brakes and the acft nosed over. The plt recommends dual training for inexperienced plts who had little recent flying experience.
