Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that during the approach the airspeed was stabilized at 60 knots, and she felt as if she was being pushed. When she flared for landing, the airplane floated, so she increased the pitch to slow down. She then stated that the airplanes main tires struck the runway and the airplane bounced back into the air. She tried to control the airplane and landed on the runway again and felt the nose fall and the propeller strike the runway. The airplane came to rest on the runway with the nose gear collapsed.
