Summary
The nose gear collapsed on touchdown. The repair organisation was unable to find any mechanical fault that would have allowed the nose gear to collapse. Later advice was received that during a crosswind landing, the pilot allowed the aircraft to touch down on the nosewheel while the aircraft was yawing to the right.
