Incident Details
A pilot reported that the airplane began veering to the left almost immediately after touchdown. The airplane subsequently swerved off the runway, traveled across a snow-covered grassy area, and impacted a taxiway embankment. After the event, the nose gear was found collapsed.
Investigation Findings
Examination of the runway and the grassy area revealed evidence indicating that only the nose wheel was on the ground when the airplane veered off the runway. The evidence further indicated that the nose gear had begun to collapse before departing the runway. Additionally, examination of fracture surfaces on the nose gear attachment brackets revealed features typical of overload failure.
