NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that he flew a straight in approach and opted to use 20 degrees of flaps for the crosswind landing. The pilot further reported that upon touchdown the airplane bounced twice and the nose landing gear collapsed.

A post-accident examination of the airplane revealed substantial damage to the firewall.

The pilot reported that there were no pre impact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's improper pitch control during landing, which resulted in a bounced landing, and a nose landing gear collapse.
