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 pilot stated that the approach speed was faster than normal due to erroneous airspeed indications. The aircraft floated upon flaring and the pilot raised the flaps. He states that the aircraft lost lift, bounced after a hard landing and subsequently landed on its nose gear, collapsing it. He further states that the airstrip is a one-way proposition with little margin for error.
