## Narrative

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

(-23) THE STUDENT PILOT WAS OBSERVED PORPOISING ON LANDING AND NOSE GEAR WAS BROKEN AT THE GEAR FORK. UPON EXAMINATION, THE STRUT APPEARED FROZEN IN THE SHAFT AND UNABLE TO WORK AS A SHOCK ABSORBER. HAD THE NOSE STRUT WORKED PROPERLY, THE INSPECTORS FEEL THAT THE INCIDENT WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED.

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.
