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 17 with a tail wind of about 10 knots. According to the pilot, the touchdown was normal, but after rolling a short distance, the aircraft began to shake and then swerved off the right side of the runway. After leaving the hard surface, the nose gear folded aft and the fuselage was damaged. According to the flight service station records, no radio call was received from the pilot prior to landing. A witness reported that the plane landed downwind at a high rate of speed and bounced several times before the nosewheel blew out.
