Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that he came in too high during landing, flared the airplane, and bounced. The pilot attempted to control the bounce by adding power, subsequently the airplane landed hard, the nose wheel collapsed, and the left wing struck the ground resulting in substantial damage. The pilot reported no pre-impact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
