A Diamond Star DA 40D registered 9M-HMU, suffered a collapse of the nose landing gear during the third attempt to land.
The student pilot was not injured.
Cause
The cause of the accident was the collapse of aircraft NLG during the last landing attempt made by SP due to the overload failure suffered by the NLG from the hard impact during the earlier landing attempts.
Contributory factors
a) The SP experiences an unstable psychological state of mind throughout the flight after being reprimanded by the ATC due to the mistake that he had made after take-off.
b) Having difficulties and deficient in RT, the SP does not comply with the ATC's instruction.
