The pilot said his airspeed was a little faster than he would normally use as the aircraft touched down on its main landing gear and bounced. On the second contact with the runway he applied back pressure on the yoke and it bounced again, about 12 feet high. Prior to the third bounce, the pilot again applied back pressure on the control yoke causing it to bounce high again. As the airplane was now going too slow, the pilot felt that adding power would only make the problem worse. The airplane contacted the runway the fourth time with all three landing gear, causing the nose gear to buckle, impacting the firewall. The aircraft came to rest on its nose and left wing with the tail projecting 45 degrees into the air. The pilot reported that no power was added for recovery in spite of his prior instruction and practice in hard landing recovery. Post-accident examination of the aircraft revealed damage to the firewall and left wing.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's improper flare which resulted in a hard landing. A factor was the improper recovery from the bounced landing.
