THE PILOT STATED THAT HIS APPROACH TO LANDING AND INITIAL TOUCHDOWN WERE NORMAL AND SMOOTH WITH ADEQUATE COMPENSATION FOR THE GUSTY CROSSWIND CONDITIONS. HE REPORTED THAT JUST AS THE NOSEWHEEL WAS TOUCHING DOWN, A HEAVY GUST STRUCK THE AIRCRAFT, LIFTING IT OFF THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED HARD ON THE RUNWAY, AND THE NOSE GEAR BROKE OFF. THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDED TO A STOP, NOSE DOWN, ON THE LEFT EDGE OF THE RUNWAY. ON-GOING AIRPORT/RUNWAY CONSTRUCTION PRECLUDED A LANDING ON A RUNWAY MORE ALIGNED WITH THE WIND.
