AFTER MAKING A COUPLED ILS APPROACH TO 300 FEET, THE PILOT STATED HE COULD NOT DISCONNECT OR OVERRIDE THE AUTOPILOT. HE SUBSEQUENTLY LANDED HARD AND BOUNCED, SNAPPING THE NOSE GEAR OFF. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ON ITS NOSE WITH BOTH PROPELLERS CONTACTING THE RUNWAY. THE CONTROLS AND AUTOPILOT WERE INSPECTED AND TESTED AND FOUND TO BE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
