## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: AT APPROXIMATELY 1503L THE AIRCRAFT MADE A SAFE LANDING AT AIR LAKE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT DUE TO EXCELLENT PILOTING SKILLS DISPLAYED BY GENE GREEN. MINIMAL DAMAGE (ESTIMATED @ $1500) WAS DONE, THE PRIMARY COST BEING APPROXIMATELY $1200 FOR NOSE GEAR DOORS. SHERIFF'S REPORT AND VIDEO TAPE WHICH RECORDED THE ENTIRE EVENT IS ON FILE IN THE MSP FSDO IF NECESSARY. SUSPECTED REARWARD TOW OF AIRCRAFT BROKE OFF TWO SMALL EARS WHICH PREVENTS NOSEGEAR OVERCENTER MECHANISM FROM ALLOWING GEAR TO RETRACT. THIS IS SUSPECTED TO HAVE ALLOWED THE NOSE GEAR TO COLLAPSE WHEN WEIGHT WAS APPLIED AS THE VIDEO INDICATES. APPARENT CAUSE DOES NOT REQUIRE FURTHER FAA INTERVENTION.
