## Narrative

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

ON 1/29/99,MISUBISHI, MU300, N703JH, EXPERIENCED AN UNCOMMANDED NOSE GEAR EXTENSION ON DESCENT AT ABOUT 260 KNT AIRSPEED AND 14,000 FT. MSL. IN AN EFFORT TO SLOW THE A/C THE CREW RETARDED THROTTLES, EXTENDED SPEED BRAKES AND PITCHED THE NOSE UP. BOTH ENG.SUBSEQUENTLY FLAMED OUT. A SUCCESSFUL RESTART WAS ACCOMPLISHED AND AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING WAS MADE. MECHANICAL EXAMINATION REVEALED THAT THE NOSE GEAR REQUIRED SERVICING AND NO DESCREPANCIES WERE ETECTED IN THE ENGINES. TEST FLIGHT FAILED TO DUPLICATE EITHER LANDING GEAR OR ENGINE PROBLEM.

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.
