THE ACFT NOSED DOWN DURING LANDING AFTER THE NOSE GEAR FAILED. THE ACFT HAD LANDED EARLIER THAT DAY WITH A FLAT NOSE WHEEL TIRE. THE PLT FIXED THE FLAT AND THOUGHT THE ACFT WAS ALL RIGHT BUT LATER IN FLT HE THOUGHT THE NOSEWHEEL WAS COCKED SIDEWAYS BECAUSE THE ACFT WAS UNSTABLE TO FLY. AN A&P MECHANIC ALSO THOUGHT THE GEAR MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY THEPREVIOUS LANDING. NO METALLURGICAL EXAMINATION WAS CONDUCTED ON THE FAILED FORK OF THE LANDING GEAR.
