THE CROSS COUNTRY FLT WAS MADE LATER THAN THE PILOT INTENDED. THE PILOT HAD NEVER LANDED THIS MODEL ACFT ON A DARK NIGHT AT A HIGH DENSITY ALT ARPT. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THINGS WERE HAPPENING A LOT FASTER THAN HE WAS ACCUSTOMED TO. BY THE TIME HE SAW THE RWY IT WAS TOO LATE TO FLARE. THE ACFT LANDED HARD AND THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED.
