Factual narrative
THE PLT ELECTED TO TERMINATE A LOCAL FLT DUE TO WINDY, TURBULENT CONDITIONS ALOFT. HE INITIATED A LANDING IN A SLIGHT CROSSWIND THAT HE RPRTD WAS GUSTING TO 20 KNOTS. DRG THE LANDING, HE LOST CONTROL & THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN HARD IN A NOSE LOW ATTITUDE. SUBSEQUENTLY, IT SLID TO A STOP ON ITS NOSE, DAMAGING THE PROP, LOWER ENG COWLING & FUSELAGE.
