The pilot stated he went flying in windy conditions and that during landing, a crosswind 'blewâ the airplane to the left side of runway 19. He attempted to realign the airplane with the runway centerline, however, the nose 'dropped sharply.â The pilot tried to bring the nose up again, but the nose landing gear struck the runway 'hard.â The nose landing gear collapsed and the airplane came to rest off the left side of the runway. During the accident sequence, the main wing spar was substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The recorded wind 9 nautical miles southwest of the airport, three minutes after the accident was from 120° at 4 kts.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during the landing, which resulted in a hard landing and runway excursion.
