| Investigating agency: | NTSB |
| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that, after making a normal approach, the airplane touched down on the runway surface and bounced. The airplane touched down again, resulting in the nose gear collapsing. The propeller contacted the runway, and the airplane veered off the asphalt, coming to rest in the grass median.
A postaccident examination of the nose gear revealed that signatures were consistent with the nose strut failing as a result of a heavy aft force that would occur with an extreme nose-low impact or encounter with an obstacle. The damage incurred to the airplane supported the likelihood that the airplane touched down hard on the nose gear.
Probable Cause: The pilots' improper landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing and collapse of the nose landing gear.
