According to the pilot, the touchdown was soft and the airplane maintained centerline. The pilot reported that during the landing roll he applied brakes and the nose wheel began to "shimmy." He added backpressure to reduce the load on the nose and "as the air[plane] slowed to approximately 20 [to] 25 mph, the air[plane] nosed down into the runway." The nose wheel assembly separated from the airplane, causing substantial damage. An examination of the airplane systems revealed no anomalies.
