THE PILOT REPORTED THAT DURING ARRIVAL, HIS TRAFFIC PATTERN AND APPROACH WERE NORMAL UNTIL HE WAS OVER THE END OF THE FIELD. THE AIRCRAFT THEN SUDDENLY DROPPED BELOW THE GLIDE PATH AND THE STALL WARNING HORN SOUNDED. HE ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE DESCENT, BUT THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN HARD AND NOSED OVER. THE PILOT BELIEVED LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR.
