## Narrative

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

(-23) AFTER LADING ON RUNWAY 21 AT LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA, WHILE ON ROLLOUT NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. THE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM WAS INSPECTED AND EVERYTHING CHECKED SATISFACTORY.  THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE NOSE LANDING GEAR DOORS AND THE PROPELLER.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE AFTER REPAIRS TO THE GEAR DOORS AND PROPELLER.

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.
