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 landing the nose gear of the acft collapsed. The plt reported that the nose gear started to shimmy after landing and he pulled the stick back to raise the nose gear. When the gear contacted the rwy again it collapsed. Examination of the wreckage showed the nose gear turned about 75 degrees to the left with the steering rods broken. The tire was flat and the wheel assembly was ground down to the fork.
