Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot intended to perform one touch-and-go and then a full stop landing. During the landing flare of the first approach, the airplane encountered a gust of wind and bounced on the runway. The pilot "mistakenly released back pressure" he had maintained throughout the flare, and the airplane bounced several more times down the runway. During the final bounce, the airplane drifted to the right side of the runway, the pilot added full power, and initiated a go-around. During the second landing, the pilot again released the back pressure, the airplane bounced several more times and the nose gear collapsed.
