## Probable cause

The pilot's misjudgment of altitude resulting in an undershoot.  A factor was the berm.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Undershoot, approach - vfr pattern - final approach
  - distance/altitude - misjudged, pilot in command (cause)
- In flight collision with terrain/water, landing - flare/touchdown
  - terrain condition - berm (contributing factor)

## Analysis

The pilot reported that after landing short of the runway the airplane's nose landing gear came in contact with a 9-inch berm.  A Federal Aviation Administration aviation safety inspector, who traveled to the accident site reported the airplane sustained substantial damage as a result of the nose gear collapsing aft into the firewall.  The propeller was also damaged due to a propeller strike.  No mechanical failures or malfunctions were reported.
