## Analysis

THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN ON A GRASS LANDING AREA AND THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. THE ACFT APPEARED TO HAVE TOUCHED DOWN BETWEEN A CROSSING RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY, BOTH OF WHICH ARE ASPHALT. THERE IS A DEPRESSION, APRX 18-24 INCHES DEEP, THAT THE ACFT CROSSED. WRINKLES WERE FOUND ON THE TOP OF BOTH WINGS WHERE THE LANDING GEAR ATTACHES TO THE WINGS.

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
