Narrative:

The plane I usually fly; a cessna 172SP was in maintenance and I wished to fly. I reserved a beech sierra B-24 with a flight instructor to fly with me. I had flown this plane about a year ago and made 5 landings without incident. I was cleared to takeoff on runway 12 and joined the pattern for runway 9 right to make touch and go landings. I made two landings without incident. On the third landing the nose gear collapsed and the plane skidded to a stop. The nose gear assembly had sheared off and was lying on about the center line of runway 9R about 100 yards behind where the plane stopped. There were no injuries to me or the instructor.
