Summary:

Following a training flight, the student pilot carried out a landing on Runway 27L. The landing was heavy, resulting in several bounces and an eventual collapse of the nosewheel. The commander assessed that the student pilot had rounded out too high, resulting in the aircraft sinking and the subsequent hard landing and bounce.
