## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) N6686N, A CESSNA T210N, ON LANDING RUNWAY 19 AT TRUCKEE-TAHOE AIRPORT (TRK) CA, RAN OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY TEARING OUT THE NOSE LANDING GEAR. A 35 YEAR EXPERIENCED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR STATED THAT HE WITNESSED THE LANDING AND THAT THE CESSNA CAME IN VERY FAST AND APPEARED TO HAVE PILOT INDUCED OSCILLATIONS. THE FIRST WAS MILD, SECOND WORSE AND THE THIRD SEVERE. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE WIND WAS ALMOST DEAD CALM AT THE TIME. THE PILOT'S WRITTEN STATEMENT SAID THAT HE EXPERIENCED A WIND SHEAR, LOST AIRSPEED, DROPPED TO THE RUNWAY, BOUNCED APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES, AND THE NOSE GEAR BUCKLED. A THUNDERSTORM WAS IN THE AREA AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.
