Probable cause
the pilot's inadequate landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing. A contributing factor was the pilot's excessive airspeed on final approach.

Read the full NTSB narrative
The student's approach was "a little fast" and his initial flare was "not enough." The airplane hit the runway hard with the nose landing gear first. The airplane bounced up and began to "oscillate." The pilot requested a full stop landing and told the tower that he would not continue his touch-and-go since he had had a "hard landing." He taxied the airplane off the runway and to the hanger.
