After the initial touch down, the airplane bounced twice. Upon the second impact, the nose landing gear broke and the propeller ploughed into the ground.
Cause
The probable cause of the accident is the pilot inability to adequately flare the airplane at touch down followed by inappropriate elevator inputs to control the airplane’s rebounds and a late decision to reject the landing.
Contributing factors:
The low experience of the pilot, especially flying PIPER PA-28 airplanes.
