The 435-hour pilot reported that he was attempting to perform a short field landing on runway 30 (2,085-feet long, by 30-feet wide) at an uncontrolled airport. At a nearby airport located two miles south, approach control was reporting winds from the north at 7 knots, gusting between 20 and 25 knots. The pilot reported that with the airplane configured with full flaps, and while maintaining an airspeed of 65 miles per hour, he initiated a landing flare. The pilot attempted to make a correction and apply full power; however, the airplane touched down short of the landing threshold. As the airplane reached the lip of the asphalt landing threshold, the nosewheel strut sheared-off and the airplane skidded off the right side of the runway, colliding with the airport perimeter fence. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical deficiencies with the airplane prior to the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to compensate for prevailing wind conditions and his delay in executing a go-around. A contributing factor was the gusty winds.
