What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: during a training mission we experienced a gear problem. While performing a go-around after a simulated engine out we heard a loud bang during gear retraction. The gear in transit light stayed lit after extending the gear the in transit light stayed on, the nose gear light wasn't lit but the main gear showed down and locked. After several attempts to get the nose gear down and locked we returned to ryon. Ryon tower confirmed that the nose gear wasn't locked. We flew to Tucson where the tower also said it wasn't locked. I performed a flaps 30 landing shutting the engine fuel and electrical off on short final. After touchdown I held the nose off as long as possible. After the nose touched down I used the brakes to keep the aircraft straight. Landed 11R Tucson International day VFR 50 miles visibility no ceiling. Mark d. thomas CFI 378548830.
