Narrative:

On mar/thu/97 at approximately XX10, I was returning to ict for landing in a cessna turbo 182. Myself and 1 passenger had attempted a short cross country for pleasure, but WX at the destination had deteriorated too much and I decided to return to base. After being cleared to land on runway 19L I updated the winds from ATIS, 21 KTS gusting to 35 KTS, and decided to use full flaps (40 degrees) and increase my approach speed to that of the 'no flap' 79-80 KIAS range versus the 60-70 KIAS flap range. The winds were blowing from 170 degrees also. The approach was going nicely, very little turbulence and no problem maintaining runway alignment. As we crossed the threshold, I crosschecked my airspeed to be 72 KIAS. I was using VASI to maintain GS and at approximately 8-10 ft above the runway, the aircraft lost all lift. I initiated a go around by advancing the throttle and trying to stop the descent but couldn't. The aircraft impacted the runway on all 3 gear and bounced back up about 4 ft. Then the nose dropped and the aircraft impacted the runway on the nose tire. The tire burst and the strut collapsed causing the aircraft to begin to FLIP over. The propeller struck the runway and the nose down attitude was approximately 50-60 degrees. The aircraft did not FLIP, though. The aircraft came to rest about 200 ft down the runway after it came back on the mains and I could apply the brakes and secure the engine. No injuries were sustained except to pilot's pride (severe!).

Title: C182 PVT PLT EXPERIENCES A LOSS OF AIRSPD WHILE LNDG AT ICT. ACFT MADE A HARD LNDG, BALLOONED, AND TOUCHED DOWN ON NOSE GEAR, BLOWING THE NOSE WHEEL AND COLLAPSING THE NOSE GEAR. ACFT LEFT ON RWY.

Narrative: ON MAR/THU/97 AT APPROX XX10, I WAS RETURNING TO ICT FOR LNDG IN A CESSNA TURBO 182. MYSELF AND 1 PAX HAD ATTEMPTED A SHORT XCOUNTRY FOR PLEASURE, BUT WX AT THE DEST HAD DETERIORATED TOO MUCH AND I DECIDED TO RETURN TO BASE. AFTER BEING CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 19L I UPDATED THE WINDS FROM ATIS, 21 KTS GUSTING TO 35 KTS, AND DECIDED TO USE FULL FLAPS (40 DEGS) AND INCREASE MY APCH SPD TO THAT OF THE 'NO FLAP' 79-80 KIAS RANGE VERSUS THE 60-70 KIAS FLAP RANGE. THE WINDS WERE BLOWING FROM 170 DEGS ALSO. THE APCH WAS GOING NICELY, VERY LITTLE TURB AND NO PROB MAINTAINING RWY ALIGNMENT. AS WE CROSSED THE THRESHOLD, I XCHKED MY AIRSPD TO BE 72 KIAS. I WAS USING VASI TO MAINTAIN GS AND AT APPROX 8-10 FT ABOVE THE RWY, THE ACFT LOST ALL LIFT. I INITIATED A GAR BY ADVANCING THE THROTTLE AND TRYING TO STOP THE DSCNT BUT COULDN'T. THE ACFT IMPACTED THE RWY ON ALL 3 GEAR AND BOUNCED BACK UP ABOUT 4 FT. THEN THE NOSE DROPPED AND THE ACFT IMPACTED THE RWY ON THE NOSE TIRE. THE TIRE BURST AND THE STRUT COLLAPSED CAUSING THE ACFT TO BEGIN TO FLIP OVER. THE PROP STRUCK THE RWY AND THE NOSE DOWN ATTITUDE WAS APPROX 50-60 DEGS. THE ACFT DID NOT FLIP, THOUGH. THE ACFT CAME TO REST ABOUT 200 FT DOWN THE RWY AFTER IT CAME BACK ON THE MAINS AND I COULD APPLY THE BRAKES AND SECURE THE ENG. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED EXCEPT TO PLT'S PRIDE (SEVERE!).
