The instructor, a student and a passenger took off from FAWB on a training flight of approximately 1.5 hours in the general flying area (GFA). The instructor stated that on their return to FAWB, they planned to carry out a few circuits and landings. During the first landing, they touched down normally with both main landing gears. However, the nose gear collapsed when the nose gear touched down. He confirmed that there were three green light indications that indicated the landing gear was down and locked. He further stated that when the aircraft slowed down he turned the aircraft to the left to clear the runway so as not to block the runway for a long time. The owner questionnaire indicates that the cause of the nose gear collapse was due to mechanical failure. However, it does not indicate what failed exactly. The last mandatory periodical inspection (MPI) was carried out on 17 January 2005 at 3 634.14 flying hours. The aircraft was operated for a further 66.84 flying hours. The last audit on the aviation training organisation (ATO no. CAA/0263) was carried out on 04 May 2004. The ATO Approval was issued on 13 June 2004 with an expiry date of 12 June 2005. Probable Cause The nose gear collapsed, however the cause thereof was not determined.
