## Narrative

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

ACFT NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED ON LANDING. (FORM 23) DURING PRE-LANDING CHECKS, PILOT RECOGNIZED THAT THE NOSE LANDING GEAR WAS FAILING TO INDICATE DOWN-AND-LOCKED CONDIITION AFTER NORMAL ATTEMPT TO EXTEND LANDING GEAR. AN ATTEMPT TO RE-CYCLE THE LANDING GEAR FAILED TO CORRECT CONDITION.  NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED ON LANDING CAUSING MINOR COWLING AND AIRFRAME DAMAGE IN ADDITION TO ASSOCIATED PROPELLER AND ENGINE DAMAGE RESULTANT FROM CONTACT WITH RUNWAY SURFACE.  FAILURE OF FORWARD NOSE LANDING GEAR DOOR ACTUATION ROD ATTACHMENT CLEVIS ALLOWED THE FORWARD DOOR TO INTERFERE WITH THE NORMAL OPERATION EXTENSION OF THE NOSE LANDING GEAR. PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^                                               THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES.  THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE.

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.
