The pilot had conducted three circuits. On the final leg of the circuit approach from base at 700 feet, maintaining at 60 to 65 knots, the aircraft ballooned after contact with the ground and struck hard on second contact. The heavy landing broke the front wheel spat, a part of which fell off the aircraft, onto the runway. The pilot detected that the spat was damaged on return to hangar and contacted airport groundsman of the potential hazard on the runway.
