| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated that he executed a normal short field landing on Runway 21 at Trennery's Aerodrome. During the ground roll, however, he was violently thrown forward when the nose undercarriage dug into soft sand and the fork fractured. The propeller struck the ground and the lower nose under surface and the left-hand wing tip including the leading edge were subsequently damaged. The pilot was not injured. The pilot's licence was valid and the type endorsed into his log book at the time of the accident. According to the Aircraft file, the aircraft was properly maintained. The last Mandatory Periodic Inspection (MPI) was certified on 20-08-2002 at 5380.40 Airframe hours. The aircraft had flown a further 81.20 hours since the last MPI. No on-site investigation was carried out. PROBABLE CAUSE: After landing and during the ground roll, the nose undercarriage dug into soft ground causing the nose undercarriage fork to fail.
