## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT WAS MAKING A NORMAL APPROACH TO 28L AT (CMH). HE STATED EVERYTHING APPEARED NORMAL. "AT "SUMIE" I PUT THE GEAR DOWN, I SAW GREEN AND CONTINUED LANDING SEQUENCE. EVERYTHING WAS OK AFTER TOUCH DOWN, AND THEN THE NOSE FELL TO THE RUNWAY." THE AIRCRAFT WAS PLACED ON JACKS TO INSPECT THE NOSE GEAR LANDING SYSTEM. INSPECTION SHOWED THAT ONE OF THE TWO BOLTS THAT CONNECT THE NOSE GEAR AFT DRAG BRACE ASSEMBLY TO THE INBOARD AND OUTBOARD ARMS SHEARED OFF. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE FORWARD EXTENSION/RETRACTION CONTROL TUBE LINEAR MOVEMENT WAS RESTRICTED. THE RESTRICTION CAUSED THE CONTROL TUBE TO BEND. THE BENT CONTROL TUBE PREVENTED THE NOSE GEAR FROM BEING COMPLETELY EXTENDED AND LOCKED.

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.
