## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS CLEARED TO LAND RWY 06, NANTUCKET MEMORIAL AIRPORT, NANTUCKET, MA AS NUMBER TWO BEHIND A LIGHT TWIN.  THE PILOT REPORTED TURBULENCE ON ARRIVAL AND VISUAL APPROACH DUE TO GUSTY WINDS.  PILOT ENCOUNTERED GUSTY CROSSWINDS DURING THE LANDING PHASE (REPORTED 80-DEG CROSSWIND AT 16 GUSTING TO 23).  AFTER REDUCING POWER TO IDLE (2-3 FT AGL) TO COMPLETE THE LANDING, A WIND GUST CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO LAND HARD IN A THREE-POINT ATTITUDE.  THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED ON CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY AND THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP OFF OF THE RUNWAY PAVED SURFACE.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

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.
