PILOT STATEMENT DATED 10-22-2012:

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I WAS RETURNING ALONE FROM A ONE HOUR FLIGHT FROM KTBR AT AROUND 3:15 PM LOCAL ON A GOOD WEATHER DAY. PRE LANDING CHECKLIST WAS COMPLETE. ON SHORT FINAL WITH GEAR DOWN, FULL FLAPS, AIRSPEED AT 80, I WAS IN POSITION FOR LANDING WITH LIGHT WINDS. AT AROUND 50 FEET, I PULLED THE POWER TO IDLE AND SHORTLY AFTER STARTED TO FLARE. IT THEN FELT AS IF I HAD ENCOUNTERED SOME GUSTY WINDS OR WIND SHEAR. THERE WAS SOME YAW AT TOUCHDOWN. AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE LEFT AND EXITED THE PAVEMENT DESPITE MY CONTROL INPUTS. SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED, THE PROP HIT THE GROUND AND STOPPED THE ENGINE. THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDED TO A STOP. NO APPARENT LEAKS, SMOKE OR SMELLS. EVERYTHING WAS QUIET. I HEARD THE REQUEST ON THE CTAF FOR EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT. I TRANSMITTED THAT I WAS OK AND TO SEND FOR HELP.
