## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON LANDING PILOT REPORTED HAVING 3 GREEN LIGHTS. TOUCHDOWN WAS NORMAL UNTIL THE NOSE GEAR TOUCHED AND FOLDED UP. THE AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE AT THE NOSE GEAR ACTUATOR ATTACH POINT FAILED CAUSING THE NOSE GEAR TO FOLD UNDER.

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.
