## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED DURING LANDING ROLL AT ALLEGHENY COUNTY AIRPORT IN WEST MIFFLIN PENNSYLVANIA. POST INCIDENT INSPECTION OF THIS AIRCRAFT REVEALED THAT THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED DUE TO FAILURE OF ONE OF THE NOSE GEAR ACTUATOR DOWN-LOCK PINS (PART NUMBER 1280209-1). THE DOWN-LOCK PIN ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE ACTUATOR WAS FOUND TO BE CONTACTING THE NOSE GEAR ACTUATOR PISTON AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE ACTIONS OR INACTIONS OF THE PILOT DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THIS INCIDENT. SUBMISSION OF THIS REPORT CLOSES THIS INVESTIGATION.
