## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT STATEMENT: THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXPLANATION OF THE INCIDENT INVOLVING N3757Y. ON NOVEMBER 23, 2001 AT APPROXIMATELY 2:00 PM I WAS RETURNING FROM CARSON CITY (CXP) TO RENO TAHOE AIRPORT (RNO). DURING THE "BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST" I SELECTED THE GEAR TO THE DOWN POSITION. THERE WAS NO GEAR DOWN INDICATION NOTED ON THE SINGLE GEAR DOWN LIGHT. I REQUESTED TO CONTINUE APPROACH WITH A PASS DOWN RUNWAY 16R SO THAT THE TOWER COULD ADVISE ON THE VISUAL POSITION OF THE GEAR. I DEPARTED THE PATTERN TO THE WEST TO REVIEW THE OPERATOR'S HANDBOOK AND CYCLE THE GEAR IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET A GEAR DOWN INDICATION. A LOW PASS WAS REQUESTED DOWN RUNWAY 7 FOR ANOTHER VISUAL OF THE GEAR BY THE TOWER. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE GEAR APPEARED TO BE DOWN AND THAT THE GEAR DOORS WERE IN THE OPEN POSITION. I ELECTED TO LAND THINKING IT WAS A GEAR POSITION SWITCH AT FAULT. ON THE ROLLOUT ON RUNWAY 7 THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. WHEN THE AIRCRAFT NOSE WAS LIFTED TO PUT THE GEAR DOWN, IT WAS NOTED THAT THERE WAS RESISTANCE WITH THE NOSE GEAR DOWN LATCHING MECHANISM. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS IN THE FUTURE, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME.

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.
