Read the full NTSB narrative

The student pilot said she was flying in the traffic pattern and was on a long final to perform a touch-and-go landing. She said that the visual approach slope indicator lights showed she was on the proper glide path. The student pilot said that when she was sure she was in a position to land on the runway, she lowered a third notch of flaps. She said she reduced the power to idle as she crossed over the threshold and tried to maintain her altitude. The student pilot said, "I touchdown and ballooned up. Then the airplane returned to the runway and ballooned again. About the third bounce I lunged forward as the nosewheel had broken off." The student pilot said the airplane slid to a stop on the grass near the runway. An examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies.
