## Narrative

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

(-23) TOWER REPORTED A/C SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE AFTER THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED DURING THE LANDING ROLL. PILOT REPORTED THAT HE LOWERED THE GEAR BUT FAILED TO NOTICE THE GEAR UNSAFE BUZZER NOT SOUNDING. HE PROCEEDED TO MAKE A NORMAL LANDING BUT WHEN A/C WAS PUT ON THE NOSE GEAR, THE HANDLE SPUN BACK. HE REALIZED THAT THE NOSE GEAR LINKAGE WAS NOT PROPERLY OVER CENTER AND NO BUZZER HAD SOUNDED.

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.
