## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT(S) HAD MADE ROUTINE "TOUCH & GO" (5 EACH) @ FLG. ON THE SIXTH (6TH) T & GO SET-UP, ALL GEAR INDICATIONS (3-GREEN) (NOSE GEAR IN-THE-MIRROR) APPEARED "GOOD-TO-GO". THE A/C TOUCHED DOWN ON THE MAIN GEARS FIRST. THE NOSE GEAR THEN TOUCHED DOWN AND SUDDENLY COLLAPSED. THE A/C SUSTAINED DAMAGED PROPELLERS, A SCRAPED NOSE, AND NO INJURIES TO EITHER PILOT. THERE WAS NO POST-INCIDENT FIRE.

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.
