What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
A/c departed walker, MN for lonville, MN. A loud noise was heard during gear retraction. Subsequent gear extension was incomplete; nose gear remained up. Emergency extension was also unseccessful. A/c landed at Longville with nose gear still in nose well. Additionally, pilot secured both engines prior to touchdown. Engines were windmilling at the time of ground contact, resulting in apparently minor damage to both propellers. After landing, ground personnel lowered a/c tail, and the nose gear came down on its own. Total damage appeared to be minor in nature and was confined to scrapes along the nose section where a/c slid, and propeller tips where ground contact was made.
