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
During arrival, the pilot landed on runway 36 with a reported tail wind of 10 KTS to 12 KTS. He stated that during the landing, his airspeed was a little too fast and the aircraft bounced. On the second bounce, the aircraft landed on its nose gear and the nose gear separated. After separation, the nose gear went under the aircraft and punctured a fuel cell. The aircraft then slid to a stop on the runway.
