## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT EXTENDED LANDING GEAR ON THE DOWN WIND LEG AT EUL. HE STATED THE LANDING EXTENDED BECAUSE HE FELT THE DRAG ON THE AIRCRAFT. HE THINKS THE GEAR DOWN SAFE INDICATOR WAS LIT. HE MADE A NORMAL APPROACH AND LANDING. DURING THE LANDING FLARE AS HE RELAXED THE BACK PRESSURE, THE PROP CONTACTED THE RUNWAY BECAUSE THE NOSE GEAR HAD NOT EXTENDED. WITNESSES STATE THE MAIN GEAR WAS EXTENDED BUT THE NOSE GEAR WAS NOT EXTENDED. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE NOSE GEAR DOORS AND THE PROPELLER SHOWED EXTENSIVE RUNWAY CONTACT.

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.
