## Narrative

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

(-5)PILOT REPORTED NORMAL LANDING BUT AFTER ABOUT 1500 FOOT ROLL NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AND THEN THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED AS THE MAIN GEAR FOLDED ALSO. MY INVESTIGATION OF THE AIRCRAFT NOTED THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS IN THE DOWN POSITION AND THE MECHANICAL NOSE GEAR INDICATOR STILL SHOWED DOWN. PILOT REPORTED ELECTRICAL SMELL AFTER AIRCRAFT CAMT TO STOP.  NO MAJOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.  DAMAGE LIMITED TO PROPELLERS, GEAR AND DOORS, INBOARD TRAILING EDGE OF FLAPS AND FUSELAGE DAMAGE AROUND PROTRUSIONS SUCH AS ANTENNAS.  M & D TO BE SUPPLIED ON GEAR SYSTEM AT REPAIR.

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.
