Analysis
The student plt reported that she had made a go-around & two landings in calm wind conditions. She reported her 3rd approach was lower & slower, under 60 KTS. When she realized that she did not have the flaps full down, she added the last increment of flaps (aprx 10 deg) with the power at idle RPM. The acft touched down hard, bounced, ballooned & bounced again. The nose gear collapsed & the acft came to rest on its nose.
