## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON JUNE 26, 1996, N3503Q, AN ALON 415-A2 AIRCRAFT, PILOTED BY A PRIVATE PILOT, RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE AFTER THE NOSE GEAR PARTIALLY COLLAPSED AT THE HOOTERVILLE RLA, NEAR HALLSVILLE, IL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE PILOT STATED THAT BRAKING WAS ALMOST NIL DUE TO THE WET GRASS. THE NOSE GEAR BEGAN TO COLLAPSE AFTER MAKING A TURN ONTO THE TAXIWAY. THE PILOT WAS CLEARLY AWARE OF THE FACTORS INVOLVED IN THIS INCIDENT. HE WAS COGNIZANT OF HIS POSSIBLE OPTIONS AND MADE A DECISION BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF RUNWAY REMAINING AND OBSTRUCTIONS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN HIS FLIGHT PATH HAD HE INITIATED A GO-AROUND FROM HIS POSITION ON THE RUNWAY. HIS COMPETENCE IS NOT IN QUESTION.

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.
