Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that he was landing to the north. On rollout, approximately halfway down the runway, he encountered a "severe gust of wind from the west." The pilot said the airplane "weathervaned" and went off of the runway, collapsing the nose gear and substantially damaging the nose gear, nose gear bulkheads, cowling, and propeller. An examination of the airplane's systems revealed no anomalies. The wind conditions at the Greeley-Weld Country Airport, Greeley, Colorado, 17 miles northeast of the accident site were 270 degrees at 17 knots with gusts to 21 knots.
