What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: normal two pilot operation but because this was a maintenance run to Dayton, only one pilot performed preflight & towed aircraft from hangar. Tug started to roll, causing concern to pilot, who then forgot to go back and get tow bar. He approached a/c from the rear, got in, & departed MFD. He experienced a/c yaw which stopped when gear was raised, but then had a gear problem indication. He realized what he had done, called ATC at day and asked for fly-by to confirm. He landed without further incident. Damage only sustained to nose gear doors. privacy data omitted
