Narrative:
While flying an approach at 7b9 runway 1, the aircraft touched down in the overrun area before the beginning of the runway. The main gear touched down first followed by the nosewheel. The aircraft nosewheel collapsed causing the nose to fall. The aircraft slid approximately 400 ft to a stop, remaining on the runway. The aircraft did not seem to touch down hard enough to cause the nose gear to collapse. The approach to the runway was normal.
