THE STUDENT PILOT BOUNCED THE AIRCRAFT DURING A LANDING AND ATTEMPTED A GO-AROUND. HE REDUCED POWER AFTER THE SECOND BOUNCE AND THE AIRCRAFT STARTED DRIFTING TO THE RIGHT, SO HE APPLIED LEFT RUDDER. THE AIRCRAFT THEN VEERED TO THE LEFT. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE NOSE GEAR PARTIALLY COLLAPSED, ALLOWING THE PROPELLER AND LEFT WING TIP TO HIT THE GROUND.
