## Narrative

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

(-23) ON OCTOBER 10, 2002, AT 1518 HOURS A BONANZA BE35 OPERATED BY PAUL M. STUTSMAN LANDED ON RUNWAY 9R AT KENDALL TAMIAMI EXECUTIVE AIRPORT (TMB). DURING ROLL-OUT AND BRAKING, THE NOSE WHEEL FORK HAD TWISTED AND BENT BACKWARDS. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST AT THE HOLD-SHORT BARS FOR 27L AND WAS IN A TAIL HIGH ATTITUDE. JOEL VALLE OF J.V. AIR MAINTENANCE, INC. WAS CONTACTED BY THE AIRPORT MANAGER THAT SUBJECT AIRCRAFT NEEDED ASSISTANCE. J.V. MAINTANANCE, INC. MOVED THE AIRCRAFT TO THEIR HANGAR. ARRIVED AT THE TMB TOWER TO INTERVIEW THE CONTROLLER ON DUTY (WILLIAM COOLEY) AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT TO ASCERTAIN WHAT ACTUALLY OCCURRED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. MR. COOLEY STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT APPEARED TO MAKE A STEEPER THAN NORMAL APPROACH, TOUCHING DOWN NEAR MID-FIELD. INTERVIEWED MR. VALLE AT J.V. AIR MAINTENANCE, INC. MR. VALLE STATED THAT BASED ON HIS EXPERIENCE, THE NOSE FORK FOLDED BACKWARDS DUE TO A HARD LANDING.

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.
