During the final approach, the pilot, in third position in the landing order, focused on the movement of the planes preceding him. The erroneous representation of these movements led him to wonder about a possible go-around during the final approach. However, he did not seek the assistance of the controller to clarify the situation and decided to continue the approach.
When he was cleared for a very short final landing, he was still focused on the plane on the ground that had just cleared the runway. It did not flare and the nose landing gear hit the runway hard. There followed a series of bounces during which the nose landing gear collapsed.
