The pilot stated that he had flown a normal short field pattern with a final approach configuration at 300' agl of 40 degrees of flap and an airspeed of 60 KIAS. The aircraft touched down firmly in a three point attitude and bounced. Upon the second touch down, the aircraft rolled for approximately 200' - 400' at which point the nose came down without the nose wheel. The nose wheel strut dug into the ground and the aircraft nosed over. Examination of the airstrip by a Federal Aviation Inspector revealed the field conditions to be dry and the height of vegetation to be approximately 2' - 3'. The ground scar from the nose wheel was observed to be more pronounced than that produced by the main wheels. The nose wheel was located 156' left of the initial touchdown point at a relative bearing of 035 degrees. The fractured nose wheel U-bracket exhibited no evidence of fatigue or preexisting crack.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper attitude and excessive sink rate during landing. The terrain condition was a contributing factor in the accident.
