Analysis
When the aircraft descended below tree top height on final approach, the headwind vector was lost and the aircraft settled to a hard landing. During bounce recovery, the pilot added power but raised the flaps. The aircraft stalled and impacted the ground nose low. The pilot had 97 hrs total flying experience.
