THE AIRCRAFT LANDED AND TAXIED TO THE RAMP WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. COMPANY MAINTENANCE CAME UP FROM EWR AND INSPECTED THE NOSE GEAR. THEY FOUND THE NOSE GEAR AND SENSORS PACKED WITH ICE. THEY REMOVED THE ICE AND PERFORMED A GEAR SWING, WITH NO FURTHER DEFECTS NOTED. THIS INCIDENT IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

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.
