Event Summary
A pilot conducting a landing approach experienced an unanticipated crosswind condition shortly before touchdown. The pilot had been unable to obtain an airport advisory from UNICOM and instead observed the wind sock, which appeared to indicate calm conditions with no wind or gusts. The most recent wind information available to the pilot suggested winds from the northwest. Based on this information, the pilot elected to land on Runway 5.
Pilot's Account
According to the pilot, just prior to touchdown, the aircraft encountered a left crosswind. The pilot stated that the wind displaced the airplane laterally by 60 to 70 feet before a go-around could be attempted. The airplane subsequently impacted the ground, and the nose strut collapsed upon impact.
Damage
The incident resulted in the collapse of the nose strut.
