Factual narrative
THE PLT REPORTED THAT THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AFTER A 'NORMAL' LDG. AN FAA INSPECTOR WHO EXAMINED THE RWY AFTER THE MISHAP REPORTED THAT HE FOUND TIRE MARKS WHICH INDICATED THAT THE NOSE TIRE HAD CONTACTED THE RWY SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THE MAIN TIRES TOUCHED DOWN. EXAM OF THE NOSE GEAR REVEALED THAT THE AFT DRAG-LINK BRACKET ASSY HAD FAILED; METALLURGICAL EXAM OF THE FRACTURE SURFACES REVEALED FEATURES TYPICAL OF AN OVERSTRESS BREAK, WITH NO EVIDENCE OF PREEXISTING CRACKING.
