## Narrative

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

(-23) ON SITE INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED WITH ASSISTANCE FROM ROBERT R. ROGERS ON APRIL 03, 2002, 1830 HOURS LOCAL AT THE MCN AIRPORT. VISUAL INSPECTION OF AIRCRAFT REVEALED DAMAGE TO NOSE GEAR AND PROPELLER. LOWE AVIATION (MCN) LATER CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE HAD BEEN DAMAGED BUT NO DAMAGE WAS RECEIVED BY THE FIREWALL OR OTHER AIRCRAFT MAJOR COMPONENTS. INTERVIEW WITH MR. NOLAN ALONG WITH HIS WRITTEN STATEMENT INDICATES THAT HE HAD A HARD LANDING WHICH BLEW THE NOSE TIRE, DAMAGED THE NOSE GEAR ASSEMBLY, AFTER WHICH THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE RUNWAY.

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.
