## Narrative

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

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.

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.
