Probable cause

A nose landing gear collapse during landing for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information.

NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that, after landing, the nose landing gear began a “severe shimmy” and subsequently fractured. The propeller contacted the runway, and the engine mounts sustained substantial damage. The airplane was not made available for examination following the accident, and the source of the shimmy could not be determined based on the available information.
