Following an uneventful flight, the pilot overflew the destination airport and observed no apparent wind speed or direction on the windsock. The airplane approached the runway fast, and landed "very hard," separating the right main landing gear from the airplane in the process. The airplane bounced, veered off the right side of the runway, and the left main landing gear collapsed, before the airplane came to rest. The operator did not report any preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions of the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper flare, which resulted in a hard landing.
