Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The plt rptd that the airplane began to veer left almost immediately after touchdown. The airplane subsequently swerved off of the rwy. Traveled across a snow-covered grassy area, and impacted a taxiway embankment. The nose gear was found to be collapsed afterward. Examination of the rwy and grassy area revealed evidence which indicated that only the nose wheel was on the ground when the airplane veered off the runway. The evidence also indicated that the nose gear had begun to collapse prior to departing the rwy. Examination of fracture surfaces on the nose gear attachment brackets revealed features typical of overload failure.
