Bonanza 36 pilot reported a nose gear collapse during landing. The pilot was able to abort the landing and enter the pattern. Priority handling was requested and the pilot was able to extend the landing gear. A precautionary landing was then made.

Narrative

After an uneventful pattern; I verified gear down and locked with the three green gear indicator lights; however; during landing rollout at ZZZ and immediately after nose wheel touched runway; the nose gear started to collapse. I immediately added power and initiated a go-around. The gear was retracted during the go-around. The subsequent pattern and landing at ZZZ were unremarkable. After a slow taxi back; to minimize transient forces on the gear; aircraft damage was noted after shutdown. The propeller tips were damaged and the main inner gear doors had evidence of contact with the runway.While the gear was verified down and locked; the final approach was 5 knots fast and the subsequent landing was slightly faster. The resulting touchdown with main gear was followed almost immediately by the nose gear. No switch actuations are made until clearing the runway per ABS recommendations and procedures (civilian employment). In hindsight; while the decision to go around was sound; I should not have retracted the gear immediately until further analysis and then made a more deliberate effort to validate the status of the gear (ground observers). On the initial landing and subsequent successful landing; the gear position was validated prior to touchdown with the gear down indications and also visually via mirrors on the wing which permits determining the status of the gear. Furthermore; a go around was conducted on a prior approach to the collapsed nose gear. This was due to insufficient spacing from a preceding helicopter that failed to exit the runway. In retrospect; I should have extended my downwind leg further; to prevent a go-around and provide a more stabilized approach...perhaps landing on speed and preventing a gear collapse.
