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 duration of the pleasure flight was about 25 minutes and was uneventful. The pilot made the approach and entered the traffic pattern in the standard manner and radioed UNICOM of her intentions to land. The pilot stated that she landed longer than usual and bounced the aircraft several times. The nose gear collapsed and the aircraft came to an abrupt stop.
