## Narrative

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

(-23)ALL INDICATORS SHOWED THAT THE GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED. INITIAL TOUCHDOWN WAS AT THE DISPLACED THRESHOLD OF RUNWAY 36 WITH A SLIGHT SKID AND SECOND TOUCHDOWN WAS ABOUT 30 FEET FURTHER DOWN THE RUNWAY.  AS THE LANDING ROLL CONTINUED THE NOSE BECAME ITS NORMAL HEAVY AND WHEM IT COULD NO LONGER BE HELD OFF, DESCENDED TO THE RUNWAY.  WHEN THE NOSE GEAR CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD AND THE NOSE GEAR FOLDED FOLLOWED BY THE MAIN GEAR RESULTING IN THE BELLY SLIDING ON THE RUNWAY.

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.
