## Narrative

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

UPON LANDING PILOT REPORTED AIRCRAFT SHOOK VIOLENTLY FROM NOSE GEAR AREA. AIRCRAFT CLEARED ACTIVE AND CALLED FOR COMPANY MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL.  FOUND NOSE GEAR SCISSORS DISCONNECTED WITH PIN HANGING.  MAINTENANCE RECONNECTED SCISSORS AND AIRCRAFT TAXIED TO RAMP WITH SOME DAMAGE TO SCISSORS AND TAXI LIGHT WIRING HARNESS.

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.
