## Narrative

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

(-23) 14 CFR PART 141 INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM CMSU MAX B. SWISHER SKYHAVEN AIRPORT (9K4), WARRENSBURG, MISSOURI, AROUND 12:00 CST. UPON RETURN TO 9K4, RIGHT DOWNWIND FOR RUNWAY 18 WAS ENTERED AND LANDING GEAR WAS LOWERED. PILOT STATES THAT THE MAIN LANDING GEAR APPEARED DOWN AND LOCKED, BUT THERE WAS NO GREEN LANDING GEAR DOWN INDICATOR LIGHT. GEAR WAS CYCLED WITH NO CHANGE, AND AIRCRAFT EXITED THE PATTERN WHERE AN UNSUCCESSFUL EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION WAS ATTEMPTED. PILOT INFORMED SKYHAVEN UNICOM OF THE SITUATION AND OBTAINED VISUAL VERIFICATION FROM ANOTHER AIRCRAFT THAT THE NOSE LANDING GEAR WAS NOT EXTENDED. MANY ATTEMPTS TO EXTEND THE NOSE LANDING GEAR, USING VARIOUS FLIGHT MANEUVERS WERE PERFORMED WITHOUT SUCCESS. A MAIN GEAR DOWN LANDING WAS ACCOMPLISHED ON RUNWAY 18, WITH NO INJURIES AND MINOR AIRCRAFT DAMAGE. MAINTENANCE FOUND THE OUTBOARD EDGE OF BOTH LANDING GEAR DOORS WEDGED INSIDE THE LANDING GEAR WELL, PREVENTING THE GEAR FROM EXTENDING. FAA FORM 8010-4 WAS GENERATED, RECOMMENDING CLOSER INSPECTION OF NOSE GEAR WELL BUMPERS AND STRICT ADHERENCE TO NOSE GEAR DOOR AND LOWER COWL CLEARANCE. INCIDENT ^PRIVACY DATA ^ IS CONSIDERED CLOSED. LANDING GEAR MALFUNCTION.

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.
