## Narrative

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

(-23) UPON LANDING THE PILOT OF 5979F, A PA-34-200T, ALLOWED THE AIRCRAFT TO DECELERATE WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL BRAKING UNTIL REACHING APPROXIMATELY 60 KNOTS. AT THAT POINT, BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP 3500 FEET FROM THE END OF THE RUNWAY, 20 TO 30 FEET LEFT OF THE CENTERLINE. ATC WAS NOTIFIED OF THE EVENT. BOTH PILOTS STATE THEY HAD ALL THREE GEAR INDICATION LIGHTS.

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.
