On returning from a maintenance check flight the pilot carried out a normal landing with the main undercarriage touching down first. Approximately 2 seconds after the nose undercarriage touched the ground it collapsed. The aircraft skidded for approximately 60 meters before it came to a standstill. There were no injuries. The propeller and bottom engine cowling was damaged, but there was no other damage. PROBABLE CAUSE: Due to the undercarriage tension cable pulley bracket failure the nose undercarriage collapsed during landing.
