Probable cause
The pilot’s improper landing flare, which resulted in a bounced landing and the nose landing gear collapsing.
NTSB analysis
The pilot reported that while landing, the airplane touched down on the main landing gear and then bounced. On the second bounce, the nose landing gear collapsed, the left main landing gear collapsed, and the left wing impacted the ground. The airplane departed the runway and came to a stop in the grass. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
