As the airplane's main landing gear touched down on the runway, the airplane bounced. When the airplane settled back on the runway, the nose gear collapsed and the airplane exited the runway. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot's unstable approach, which resulted in excessive airspeed during the touchdown, subsequent bounced landing, collapsed nose landing gear, and a runway excursion.
The sequence of events began when the airplane's main wheels made contact with the runway, causing it to bounce. Once it settled back onto the runway, the nose gear collapsed, leading to the aircraft leaving the runway. The investigation found that the pilot's unstable approach was the probable cause of this accident, resulting in excessive airspeed during touchdown, a bounced landing, nose gear collapse, and subsequent runway excursion.
