The airplane sustained substantial damage when it nosed over during landing. The student pilot confirmed that during his first solo landing the airplane began to porpoise. He confirmed that he did not have the experience or knowledge as to how to recover from this condition. The airplane continued to porpoise and the nose landing gear separated from the airplane and it nosed over.
The student pilot's failure to take remedial action in response to a porpoise/pilot-induced oscillation during landing. Factors were the porpoise, the pilot's lack of experience, and the separation of the nose landing gear.
