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
Following an uneventful outbound flight earlier in the day, the pilot returned to the origination airport. During the landing flare, the Cessna 182 touched down on the main landing gear, and shortly thereafter the nose landing gear touched down and collapsed, resulting in substantial damage. An examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed no mechanical deficiencies.
