The airplane sustained substantial damage when the airplane's nose gear collapsed during landing. The airplane subsequently flipped over. The pilot stated, "The approach was normal with full flaps and the nose trimmed slightly high. Upon touchdown the nose wheel collapsed and the aircraft pitched down and the prop dug in. Then the airplane flipped on its back. The wind was variable at 5 knots. The pilot's report did not list any mechanical malfunctions occurring during the flight. Examination of the airplane wreckage revealed no pre-existing anomalies.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudged flare which led to a hard landing and subsequent collapse of the landing gear.
