The pilot was on final approach for runway 22, with 15 degrees of flaps and 70-75 knots of airspeed. He intended to land about 200 feet beyond the runway numbers, but as he approached the numbers, the nose of the aircraft seemed to suddenly stop and begin to drop. He stated that before he was able of apply power, the aircraft hit the runway and the left main landing gear and nose wheel collapsed. The aircraft veered off to the left side of the runway. The winds were from 270 degrees at 12-15 knots. The pilot reported that he had not experienced any mechanical malfunction with the aircraft prior to the accident.
Probable Cause: The failure of the pilot to maintain an adequate airspeed during the landing, which resulted in a stall/mush and hard landing.
