Accident Sequence
During final approach to land, the twin-jet airplane experienced an increasing headwind accompanied by a "Caution Wind shear" audio alert while approximately 50 feet above ground level. The subsequent landing was hard, causing the aircraft to bounce several times before departing the left side of the runway. The airplane came to rest in an upright position.
Pilot Actions and Exits
Following the accident, the pilot and copilot were able to exit the aircraft unassisted.
Aircraft Damage
The forward pressure bulkhead, fuselage, and left aileron sustained structural damage during the accident. Additionally, the nose wheel assembly was found separated from the fuselage. An examination of the nose wheel assembly revealed that the fracture was consistent with an overload failure.
Systems Examination
No anomalies were reported with the airplane’s flight controls or engines.
