What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On December 3, 2015 N6022U was on final at coi, runway 11/29. The aircraft nose gear was broken near the wheel assembly and there was minor damage to the belly. No firewall damage or primary structure showed signs of damage.
As a part of the post incident investigation, I spoke with the pilot, who indicated he had a hard landing and snapped the nose gear. He also stated he was distracted by the other traffic in the pattern landing behind and attempted to keep his speed up.
