Narrative:On July 24, 1997, about 1000 hours Pacific daylight time, a Cessna T210L, N732DD, was destroyed by fire after a hard landing at the Corona, California, airport. Neither the owner/pilot nor the passenger was injured. An instrument flight plan was filed for the personal flight. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the landing. The personal flight originated at Long Beach, California, about 0930.
According to the pilot's report, he began his landing flare higher than he would have liked. He said that this caused his landing to be too hard, the airplane to porpoise twice, and the nose landing gear to collapse. A fire erupted from the ground contact of the nose section. The pilot did not attempt a go-around. There were no reported mechanical problems.
PROBABLE CAUSE:the pilot's improper landing flare. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the pilot to correct a landing induced porpoise, and go-around.
