Narrative:

Conducting standardization flight on multiple practice approaches. We were on the last landing on the ILS on a simulated engine failure approach and before crossing the FAF; gear down call-out was made and verified three green and no gear unsafe lights. Nose gear verified down in the mirror. At approximately 1;000 ft MSL; gumps check and again lights and gear verified down and locked. Normal touchdown occurred approximately 1;500 ft from the threshold on the centerline. The nose-gear collapsed and a propeller strike occurred on both engines. The airplane slid approximately 1;000 ft down the runway before coming to rest right of centerline. Batteries; mixtures; magnetos; and fuel were cutoff and a call was made to the tower about the nose gear collapse.

Narrative: Conducting Standardization Flight on multiple practice approaches. We were on the last landing on the ILS on a simulated engine failure approach and before crossing the FAF; gear down call-out was made and verified three green and no gear unsafe lights. Nose gear verified down in the mirror. At approximately 1;000 FT MSL; GUMPS check and again lights and gear verified down and locked. Normal touchdown occurred approximately 1;500 FT from the threshold on the centerline. The nose-gear collapsed and a propeller strike occurred on both engines. The airplane slid approximately 1;000 FT down the runway before coming to rest right of centerline.
