| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
On approach for landing, the airspeed was excessively high and the pilot opted not to commence a go-around due to the presence of tall trees surrounding the strip. He flew the aircraft straight and level to decrease airspeed and believed he could still land and bring the aircraft to a halt before the end of the runway. On touchdown, the aircraft ballooned. The pilot recovered to fly the aircraft parallel to the runway but did not add power, to overcome the ballooning effect, as he felt he would run short of runway. On the second touchdown, the aircraft bounced and on the third, the nose wheel collapsed. The aircraft skidded to a halt at the left side of the runway.
