Read the full NTSB narrative
The private pilot stated that he entered a left traffic pattern for runway 20 and completed all checklist items. He flared the airplane at 25 feet above the ground and the airplane touched down on the main landing gear and bounced back into the air. As the pilot applied aft pressure on the control yoke, the airplane touched down on the runway, and bounced back into the air. After applying full power, the airplane touched back down, bounced again, and the nose wheel tire blew. Examination of the airplane revealed that the firewall was bent and the fuselage skin was wrinkled. The pilot reported winds from 050 degrees at 9 knots.
