What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 10/09/2023, aircraft was on approach for runway 021R and requested to make a full stop. Immediately prior to touchdown, the PIC initially stated that wind conditions at time of touchdown were gusty. PIC also stated that he over-flared the aircraft and it began to porpoise immediately prior to touchdown. ATC personnel observed the aircraft porpoising on the runway as documented on FAA form 8020-9. Upon landing hard, the nose gear tire ruptured allowing the NLG rim and strut to contact the runway which led to full collapse/failure of the NLG. The propeller then struck the runway causing the aircraft to come to a stop nose down. Damage to the aircraft was minor in nature and was contained to the NLG components, prop, lower engine mount and minor buckling of the firewall.
