Ask your instructor to tell you about our little friend "Pilot Induced Oscillation", especially before you fly any Cessna
There was no pilot induced oscillation. The guy in the Cherokee just sat there fat, dumb and happy and let it happen. A pretty good effort though! Usually the nose wheel comes off after about the forth or fifth bounce. He (she ?) had seven bounces before the nose wheel departed the airframe. In other words the pilot had six, yep that's right, six oppotunities to get it sorted. It would appear that at no point was any attempt made to rectify the situation. At no point was there any attempt, or even a hint of it ,to hold any sort of attitude. It would've been as simple as that. He/she was evidentally just along for the ride. Unfortunately we see this sort of thing happening far to often. Makes you wonder what they've been taught.
