Analysis

Following an uneventful outbound flight earlier in the day, the pilot returned to the origination airport. During the landing flare, the Cessna 182 touched down on the main landing gear, and shortly thereafter the nose landing gear touched down and collapsed, resulting in substantial damage. An examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed no mechanical deficiencies.
