The airplane's nose gear was broken off during landing at a dirt strip. The airstrip sits on a mesa with a 100-foot drop-off on the approach end. The pilot said he encountered a severe downdraft at low altitude over the runway threshold followed by the nose landing gear hitting a pothole at touchdown. The resulting overload caused the nose landing gear to separate. A post impact fire ensued and the airplane was destroyed.
Probable Cause: the pilot's encounter with downdraft at low altitude on short final approach to land.
