Location: Novato, CA
Accident Number: WPR19LA231
Date & Time: 08/01/2019, 1615 PDT
Registration: N234SB
Aircraft: Cessna P210
Injuries: 2 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Business
On August 01, 2019 about 1615 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna P210, N234SB, experienced a nose landing gear collapse while landing at the Gnoss Field Airport, Novato, California. The airplane was registered to Preventative Psychiatry Association Medical Group and operated by the pilot, under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91. The private pilot and one passenger were not injured; the airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings. The business flight departed from the Ogden-Hinckley Airport, Ogden, Utah about 1245 pdt with a planned destination of Novato. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and an instrument flight rules flight plan had been filed and activated.
The pilot reported that after making a normal approach, he configured the airplane to land on runway 13. As the airplane passed over the runway designation markings (numbers), the nose felt as though it was being forced down and impacted the runway surface. The airplane bounced and subsequently touched down again, resulting in the nose gear collapsing. The propeller contacted the runway and the airplane veered off the asphalt, coming to rest in the grass median.
The airplane was retained for further examination.

A small plane carrying three passengers lost part of its landing gear Thursday during a rocky arrival at the Marin County Airport in Novato.
The incident was reported as a plane crash at about 4:30 p.m. The sheriff’s department later described it as a “hard landing.”
Novato fire Battalion Chief Gerald McCarthy said the plane came down on the runway, went back up in the air and sheared its front landing gear when it came down again. With its nose damaged, the plan veered off the runway and stopped in a grassy median strip.
McCarthy said medics evaluated the three occupants for injuries. One was taken to Novato Community Hospital for treatment of minor injuries, while the others declined further treatment.
No fuel leaked from the plane.
The Federal Aviation Administration was notified about the crash.
According to Federal Aviation Administration records, the Cessna P210N Pressurized Centurion II is registered to a company in San Francisco.
