## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: PILOT STATED THAT AFTER LANDING HE WAS TAXIING VERY SLOW TO EXIT RUNWAY WHEN NOSE WHEEL FOLDED OVER. NOSE WHEEL STRUT AND ENGINE MOUNT ARE AN INTEGRAL PART. THERE IS AN A.D. ON THIS AND CAN BE INSPECTED BY A DYE PENETRATE EVERY 100 HOURS, AND WAS COMPLIED WITH. MR. ADAIR WAS LEAVING ON VACATION THE DAY AFTER THE MISHAP AND DIDN'T RETURN TO ALASKA UNTIL 8/01/96. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
