ON LANDING THE A/C NOSE DROPPED DUE TO THE NOSE GEAR AXLE AND PISTON ASSEMBLY THAT BROKE OFF APPROX. 2 INCHES FROM THE LOWER NOSE GEAR STRUT. THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE RUNWAY AND CURLED THE TIPS BACKWARDS, WITH NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE FUSELAGE OR OTHER PARTS OF TEH A/C. AN M OR D WILL BE SUBMITTED BY MAINTENANCE. THE PILOT WALKED AWAY WITHOUT INJURIES AND WAS THE SOLE OCCUPANT ON BOARD, NO POST FIRE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
