The pilot reported he experienced poor visibility while on final approach due to haze and the sunglare. The airplane touched down on an incline, five feet prior to the approach end of the sod airstrip. The nose gear collapsed which resulted in firewall damage.
Probable Cause: the pilot misjudged the proper touchdown point and subsequently landed short of the runway. Factors associated with the accident were the haze, sunglare, the lack of visual perception, and the uphill terrain on which the airplane touched down.
