The pilot’s misjudged flare and improper recovery from a bounced landing, which caused the nose gear to collapse.
NTSB Accidents
Engine failure leads to forced landing
A loss of engine power due to carburetor icing, and the pilot’s delay in using carburetor heat.
Gusty winds get better of student pilot
The student pilot’s inadequate recovery from a bounced landing.
Crosswind takes toll on training flight
The instructor’s inadequate remedial action following the student pilot’s loss of control during the crosswind landing and the instructor’s failure to compensate for the wind conditions.
Failure to lower landing gear contributes to crash
The pilot’s inadvertent failure to lower the landing gear.

The pilot’s failure to maintain aircraft control while taxiing, which resulted in a nose over. A factor was the frozen, slush covered lake.
Third time is not the charm
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control.
Wind shear contributes to crash
The pilot’s inadequate compensation for the high wind conditions and wind shear encounter on final approach, that led to a failure to maintain an adequate airspeed and a stall.

The airplane’s noseover in terrain unsuitable for landing due to the pilot’s failure to obtain current NOTAM information on the closed airport.
