Narrative:

The problem arose from pilot error. The aircraft was being operated approximately 10 KTS too fast on the landing approach. The aircraft landed nosewheel first, which set the aircraft into a porpoising motion which was not recovered from. The aircraft came to rest beside the runway in the safety grass area. The nosewheel, left strut, engine and firewall were affected. As for human performance considerations, lack of flying was the major cause of the accident. The accident was 'pilot out of control, airplane in control.' the preventive action that should have been taken would have been to go around and attempt the landing again.
