## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: NOSE LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT LOWER WHEN SELECTED. AIRCRAFT MADE EMERGENCY LANDING GEARS UP. MINOR DAMAGE, NO INJURIES, NO FIRE. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED LOW HYDRAULIC FLUID IN LANDING GEAR HYDRAULIC PUMP. SYSTEM RESERVOIR WAS LOW ON FLUID. A LEAKING HYDRAULIC LINE IN FRONT OF THE FORWARD SPAR WAS LEAKING HYD. FLUID.

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.
