Probable cause
The improper landing flare.
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 delayed the landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing on the nose gear, blowing the tire. The acft bounced back into the air, landed hard and the landing gear collapsed. The acft skidded off the runway and impacted terrain.
