THE STUDENT PILOT WAS PRACTICING IN THE LOCAL AREA AND RETURNED TO THE CARLSBAD PALOMAR AIRPORT. WHILE IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN, THE AIRPORT RUNWAY WAS CLOSED DUE TO A DISABLED AIRCRAFT AND THE PILOT DIVERTED TO FALLBROOK TO AWAIT THE REOPENING OF THE CARLSBAD RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED HARD AT FALLBROOK, PORPOISED, AND BROKE OFF THE NOSE GEAR STRUT, DAMAGING THE ENGINE FIREWALL. THE OPERATOR STATED THAT THE PILOT HAS BEEN ENDORSED FOR SOLO FLIGHTS TO THE FALLBROOK AIRPORT AND HAS LANDED THERE BEFORE.
