Read the full NTSB narrative

THE STUDENT PLT REPORTED THAT AFTER HE RETURNED FROM A X-COUNTRY PLT, HE 'SCOOPED' THE ACFT DURING THE FLARE, IT STALLED, THEN BOUNCED ON THE RWY. HE THEN MADE A GO-AROUND, AND SUBSEQUENTLY, LANDED FROM A NORMAL APCH. AN EXAM OF THE ACFT REVEALED THAT THE NOSEWHEEL TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT, THE NOSE GEAR WAS DAMAGED & THE ENG MOUNTS WERE BENT. THE HARD LANDING OCCURRED AFTER THE STUDENT HAD BECOME DISORIENTED ON THE LAST LEG OF THE X-COUNTRY FLT, BUT WAS ABLE TO REORIENT HIMSELF & FIND HIS WAY TO THE DESTINATION.
