Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot was flying solo in the traffic pattern for runway 35. As he approached the runway, he reduced power and added flaps to decrease the airspeed. The airplane bounced upon touchdown and the pilot added a “small amount” of power. The airplane bounced a second time, and then settled onto the runway. The third time the airplane contacted the runway, the nose gear collapsed. The winds reported at the airport about the time of the accident were from 090 degrees at 5 knots. The pilot did not report any mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
