Read the full NTSB narrative
THE ACFT MADE A HARD LANDING, COLLAPSING THE NOSE GEAR AFTER WHICH A FIRE STARTED. THE PILOT HAD APPROACHED THE ARPT TOOHIGH. THE TOWER RECOGNIZED THIS AND ASKED THE PILOT IF HE NEEDED TO MAKE A 360 DEGREE TURN. THE PILOT DID A 360 BUT WAS STILL TOO HIGH SO HE DID A 'FORWARD SLIP' AT 70 MPH WITH FULL FLAPS TO WITHIN 100 FT OF THE RWY. JUST PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWNTHE ACFT AIRSPEED WAS LESS THAN 63 KTS. THE ACFT BOUNCED TWICE BEFORE COLLAPSING THE NOSE GEAR. AT ONE POINT THE PILOT CONSIDERED A GO-AROUND BUT NEVER INITIATED IT.
