## Narrative

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

WHILE ON APPROACH TO RUNWAY 18 AT JABARA AIRPORT (AAO), THE PILOT LANDED HARD BETWEEN THE RUNWAY NUMBERS AND THE 500 FOOT MARKINGS.  THE PILOT STATED THAT PRIOR TO LANDING, THE APPROACH WAS ESSENTIALLY STABLE WITH A SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN NORMAL PATH ANGLE.  THE AIRSPEED OVER THE THRESHOLD WAS APPROXIMATELY 60 TO 65 KNOTS AND  NO INDICTATIONS OF MECHANICAL FAILURE.  THE PILOT STATED THAT JUST PRIOR TO LANDING, A SLIGHT GUST OR TURBULENCE WAS ENCOUNTERED.  THE PILOT RESPONDED TO THE GUST, AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE PLANE STALLED AND NOSED OVER ONTO THE RUNWAY.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED, TO INCLUDE BROKEN LEFT MAIN AND NOSE LANDING GEAR.  THE FLAPS AND FUSELAGE SHOWED SIGNS OF INTERNAL STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED.
