The airplane sustained substantial damage during a hard landing. The student pilot reported that while on approach to the runway, at approximately 50 feet above ground level (agl), the airplane encountered "windshear." The student pilot stated, "Main gear hit runway hard, plane bounced three times - third time in grass [left] of runway, nose gear failed, aircraft went up on nose, fell bank on main gear." The student pilot was attempting to land on runway 10 and the wind at the time of the accident was recorded as 180-degrees magnetic at 15 knots.
