Incident Details
According to the pilot of the aircraft involved, the accident occurred while on a short final approach to land. The aircraft suddenly encountered turbulence, at which time the passenger seated in the right front seat lurched against the control wheel. This action caused the nose to pitch down and the aircraft to bank to the left. Subsequently, the aircraft bounced on the runway before coming to a stop after landing. Following a short roll, the nose gear collapsed.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that the airport is located in the bottom of a small valley and that trees line the south side of the runway. Approximately one hour after the occurrence, two other pilots flew to the same airport and both stated that they encountered turbulence and wind shear. Additionally, the pilot of aircraft N6700H stated that the right front seat passenger was using the shoulder harness and had moved his seat forward to provide more leg room for a passenger in the back.
Registration
The aircraft involved in the incident was registered as N6700H. No other identifying information, such as aircraft make or model, was provided in the source.
