THE PILOT REPORTED THE AIRPORT TRAFFIC PATTERN WAS BUSY SO HE FLEW A TIGHT PATTERN AND HIS APPROACH WAS HIGHER AND FASTER THAN NORMAL. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED HARD AND BOUNCED CAUSING THE NOSS LANDING GEAR TO COLLAPSE. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME.

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.
