| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
Normal landing gear down indications were obtained before landing. When the nose wheel was lowered late in the landing roll, the nose wheel leg collapsed, allowing the nose and propeller blades to contact the ground. The aft rod end fitting on the nose gear actuating rod had failed. The rod was apparently of outdated design. New rods are constructed of thicker gauge metal. This accident was not the subject of an on-site investigation.
