## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: ON DEPARTURE FROM HALEYVILLE, AL, ON RETRACTION THE LANDING GEAR MADE A LOUD NOISE AND THE GEAR INTRANSIT LIGHT STAYED ON. SELECTED GEAR DOWN POSITION AND THE GREEN LIGHTS WERE NORMAL. A FLT-BY REVEALED THE NOSE WHEEL WAS NOT STRAIGHT. UPON LANDING AT MUSCLE SCHOAL (MSL) WHEN THE NOSE WHEEL CAME DOWN IT CLATTERED AND THEN RAN STRAIGHT AHEAD.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
