## Probable cause

The captain's improper decision due to his attempt to taxi back onto the runway after coming to a stop in the grass, and the resulting collapse of nose landing gear.  Contributing factors were the inoperative nose wheel steering, the pilot's inability to maintain directional control during the landing roll due to the crosswind, and the high crosswind component.  Additional factors were the uneven transition between the grass and the runway pavement, as well as the soft grass.
