During landing, the nose wheel collapsed, the airplane slid on the nose and main wheels veering off the runway right side, then nosed over inverted. The pilot completed a 38-minute-long flight by attempting to land on an 8,408-foot-long runway. An air traffic control tower witness described the airplane's approach as being "a little steep." The pilot misjudged the landing flare, and the airplane's nose wheel impacted the runway bending its rim. Thereafter, the airplane continued porpoising, the nose gear assembly ultimately failed in an aft direction, and the airplane slid to a stop coming to rest inverted.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudged landing flare and improper recovery from the bounced landing resulting in the overload failure of the nose gear and the airplane nosing over.
