Aircraft was upside down with the nose pointing back up the runway approximately 100 feet past the end of runway 17 at Dallas Executive Airport (rbd). The aircraft sustained substantial damage to the nose, left wing, and tail. The nose tire was detached from the aircraft and laying approximately 20 feet from the aircraft. It appeared that the engine block had cracked and the engine mounts were broken. All three propeller blades were bent in a manner that indicates there was little to no power on the engine when the nose wheel came off and the nose of the aircraft hit the ground. Impact damage to the ground indicates that the nose wheel passed through a small ditch and was torn from the aircraft as it exited the ditch. Found inner tube debris and pieces of tire on the runway indicating that the nose wheel tire blew out on initial impact and then started disintegrating as the aircraft traveled down the runway.

Inspection of the aircraft did not show any irregularities. Engine had compression in all six cylinders. All 12 spark plugs were clean and had good spark when the magnetos were rotated. The fuel system was clean with no obvious blockages. Fuel pump inspection report stated that the pump had good flow and pressure. It also stated that there was damage internally to the pump. The damage indicated that something had went through the pump, but no debris was found in the pump.
