On 30 July 2003, at approximately 13:12 Z, the pilot, accompanied by the owner of the aircraft, departed from FAPM (Pietermaritzburg) for a pleasure flight to the Mooiriver area. On the return the pilot carried out a normal landing, but the nose landing gear collapsed during the landing. Both occupants escaped unharmed from the accident and the aircraft sustained damage to the propeller and the nose wheel well area. The pilot was correctly licenced and properly rated on the aircraft type. The last MPI was certified on 14 July 2003. According to the pilot-in-Command, fine weather conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. It was noted that the aircrafts' serial number is 210-57855. The spares used to overhaul the nose gear ram cylinder after the previous accident, was the incorrect spares, re: Part numbers. Although it did not contribute to this accident, some abnormalities were identified during the investigation. A functional check of the landing gear system was carried out but the rigging / operation of sequence valve raised concern. PROBABLE CAUSE: It would appear that the rigging/operation of the sequence valve, resulted in the collapse of the nose landing gear.
