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
While in the landing flare, the acft apparently touched down on the nose gear & began to porpoise. During the subsequent bounces, the nose gear collapsed & the acft nosed over as it departed the side of the rwy. The plt stated that he felt that a gust of wind had caught the acft from the rear & caused the accident.
