## Narrative

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

(-23) THE FLIGHT WAS AN INSTRUCTIONAL RIDE FOR CURRENCY. WHILE REDUCING SPEED AND CONFIGURING THE AIRCRAFT FOR SLOW SLIGHT THEY GOT AN UNSAFE GEAR LIGHT. THEY TRIED EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION AND CYCLING THE GEAR, THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO CLEAR. THEY NOTIFIED BASE AND TWO OTHER AIRCRAFT WERE LAUNCHED TO SEE IF THEY COULD SEE ANYTHING. THEY DISCOVERED A RED RAG LODGED IN THE NOSE GEAR MECHANISM. THEY INFORMED THE TOWER AT SAN ANGELO AND LANDED. THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED ON ROLL OUT. MINOR DAMAGE TO THE NOSE GEAR DOORS AND TWO OF THE PROPELLER BLADES WERE DAMAGED.

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.
