Accident
The nosegear collapsed on touchdown. The repair organisation was unable to find any mechanical fault that would have allowed the nosegear to collapse. Later advice was received that during a crosswind landing, the pilot allowed the aircraft to touch down on the nosewheel while the aircraft was yawing to the right.
