## Narrative

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

PILOT REPORTED NOSE LANDING GEAR INDICATED IN-TRANSIT AFTER TAKE OFF FROM BJC. PILOT ATTEMPTED TO LOWER LANDING GEAR AND NOSE GEAR WOULD NOT INDICTE DOWN.  THE INTRANSIT INDICATION REMAINED.  PILOT FLEW BY ATC CONTROL TOWER SEVERAL TIMES TO SECURE A VISUAL INDICTATION FROM TOWER CONTROL OPERATORS.  ATC TOWER PERSONNEL REPORTED THE NOSE GEAR APPEARED TO BE DOWN.  PILOT DECLARED EMERGENCY LANDING AND LANDED AIRCRAFT.  ON LANDING, PILOT HELD THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT OFF THE RUNWAY AS LOND AS POSSIBLE.  UPON NOSE GEAR CONTACT WITH RUNWAY THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AND AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP ON RUNWAY WITH ONLY MINIMUN DAMAGE BEING SUBSTAINED TO THE NOSE GEAR DOORS.  INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE ONLY APPRARENT CAUSE OF AMLFUNCTION WAS THAT THE LOWER DRAG LINK ATTACH BOLT AND NUT HAD BACKED OFF DUE TO LOSS OF COTTER KEY WHICH IS UNEXPLAINED.

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.
