Read the full NTSB narrative
The airplane started porpoising after the student pilot made a hard landing. The student pilot reported that he thought he was 'too high' on final approach and 'nosed down' by pushing forward on the yoke. The student's instructor stated that the 'aircraft bounced after a hard landing at which time a series of oscillations followed which resulted in the nose wheel being severed from the nose strut.' The airplane came to rest nose down on the runway.
