## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT WAS PRACTICING TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS AT QUONSET STATE AIRPORT. ON THIS LANDING THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. THE PROP STRUCK THE PAVEMENT 8 TIMES PRIOR TO ENGINE STOPPING. COWLING STRUCK PAVEMENT AFTER THE PROPELLER. PILOT STATED THAT HE DID HIS GUMP CHECKS AND VERIFIED LANDING GEAR DOWN AND GREEN LIGHT. HE STATES THAT HE LANDED ON THE MAINS, THEN THE NOSE CAME DOWN AND JUST KEPT COMING DOWN. NEXT THING HE KNEW THE PROP WAS STRIKING THE RUNWAY. WHEN RI AIRPORT CORP INSPECTORS ARRIVED THE GEAR HANDLE WAS IN THE DOWN POSITION AND THE FLAP HANDLE WAS ALSO DOWN. THE AIRCRAFT HAD WORK PERFORMED ON THE LANDING GEAR APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. AIRWORTHINESS WILL BE PRESENT FOR THE SWINGING OF THE LANDING GEAR AND THE VERIFICATION OF PROPER RIGGING OF THE GEAR.

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.
