What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Pilot stated that he and another pilot had made several (7) landings and takeoff that day in preparation for the other pilot to get ready for a check ride. Aircraft landed (8) and was on runway rolling out when power was applied to both engines to take off. As engine power was being applied, the nose of the aircraft began to dip. Pilot pulled back on the throttle levers as the nose continued to sink, striking the ground and sliding on the pavement finally coming to a stop on the center line of the runway. The pilot pulled both mixture controls, shutting off the engines and secured the aircraft. Both pilots exited the aircraft. The aircraft nose gear had collapsed allowing the nose of the aircraft to contact the ground.
