| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The airplane was on final approach to runway 21, a 2,150-foot-long, asphalt runway. The pilot reported he experienced a "sudden severe downdraft" just before touchdown and the airplane contacted the ground about 50 feet prior to the runway threshold. A portion of the nose gear separated, the propeller struck the ground, and the airplane slid about 100 feet, before it came to rest on the runway. Winds reported at an airport about 18 miles north-northeast of the accident site, were from 260 degrees at 12 knots, with 20-knot gusts.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for winds, and his failure to maintain the proper descent rate. A factor in the accident was the gusty wind conditions.
