Factual narrative

THE ACFT SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE WHEN THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED DURING LANDING. THE WEATHER WAS VMC BUT THE PILOT SAID HE ENCOUNTERED A GUSTY CROSSWIND DURING LANDING. HE HAD CHECKED THE WIND SOCK PRIOR TO LANDING AND IT WAS HANGING LIMP. THE REPORTED WIND WAS 290 DEGREES AT 5 KTS GUSTING TO 15 KTS. THE PILOT HAD BOUNCED DURING TOUCHDOWN. DURING THE BOUNCE THE NOSE SHIFTED ABOUT 30 DEGREES TO THE LEFT AND THE PILOT ATTEMPTED A GO-AROUND. THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN AGAIN AND COLLAPSED THE NOSE GEAR. THE PILOT REDUCED POWER AS THE ACFT LEFT THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDED WITH A FENCE AND A DITCH. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
