Summary:

皇冠体育app accident flight was the pilot鈥檚 second solo flight as part of his training for a private pilot鈥檚 licence. 皇冠体育app pilot had already completed five successful circuits when he lined up to land on Runway 22 grass. 皇冠体育app wind was from 260潞(M) at 4 kt and the visibility was greater than 10 km. 皇冠体育app aircraft touched down on the runway and then bounced back into the air. It then descended and bounced again heavily a second time. 皇冠体育app pilot applied full throttle to attempt a go-around but at this point the aircraft鈥檚 pitch attitude was already below the horizon and the aircraft touched down heavily on its nose gear, causing the nose gear to collapse. 皇冠体育app pilot shut down the aircraft and was able to exit the aircraft via the cabin door. 皇冠体育app pilot candidly admitted in his report that he had misjudged his height during the flare and this resulted in the initial bounce. 皇冠体育app severity of the bounce took him by surprise and caused him to add power at the wrong time to initiate a successful go-around.
