What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On July 10, 2021, at approximately 1424 CST, the nose landing gear of a Beech A23-24 collapsed upon landing at Frederick Regional Airport (kfdr), Frederick, Oklahoma. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the flight. The pilot and three passengers were on board at the time and there were no injuries. The pilot was interviewed over the phone and later submitted a written statement describing the accounts. The pilot stated that he was on final approach for runway 17 with a 10 knot crosswind gusting to 24 knots and just before touchdown the aircraft suddenly lost altitude due to the gusting crosswinds and upon landing the nose landing gear collapsed. A post landing inspection of the aircraft revealed damage to the nose landing gear which had broken off at approximately the strut mid point. Damage to the propeller was also incurred as a result of it striking the runway once the nose gear collapsed. A review of the pilots logbook credentials also revealed that a flight review required by 14 CFR 61.56 had not been completed within the last 24 calendar months. The pilot subsequently completed the required flight review on 11/30/2021. Incident investigation completed and documented under sas activity SW15202200063 and compliance philosophy counseling activity to address biannual flight review oversight documented under sas activity SW15202200930.
