Event Location
Probable Cause
The student pilot's improper landing flare, which resulted in a hard, bounced landing and subsequent nose-over.
Full Narrative
The solo student pilot reported that, while conducting a touch-and-go landing, the airplane was 5 to 10 knots faster than normal during the landing and had little to no flare. The airplane touched down hard on the runway, bounced and nosed over.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and vertical stabilizer.
The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
