According to the pilot, the airplane was trimmed for 70 knots during the approach. As the airplane crossed over the runway threshold, the pilot was "looking outside the airplane." The airplane experienced a "high sink rate," and the pilot applied the engine throttle in an attempt to arrest the descent. The pilot stated that the throttle application was "too late" and the airplane's nose wheel impacted the runway. The airplane bounced, departed the runway surface, and came to rest upright near the right side of the runway.
