| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that, after conducting multiple uneventful landings, he was returning for a full stop landing. He stated that the touchdown on the main wheels was normal, but immediately after the nose wheel contacted the asphalt surface, the airplane veered sharply to the left, exited the improved runway surface, and encountered an area of soft sand. The nose wheel separated from the fuselage, and the airplane subsequently nosed over, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage, vertical stabilizer, and rudder.
The airplane's wreckage was disposed of without the National Transportation Safety Board's knowledge or consent. Because the airplane was not available for examination, it could not be determined if a mechanical failure or malfunction occurred.
Probable Cause: Loss of directional control during landing for reasons that could not be determined based on the available evidence, which resulted in a runway excursion.
