What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) During training of feather restart, the pilot ^privac^ had the student shut down the left engine. Restart was unsuccessful. ^privac^ as PIC, returned to hnl, without declaring an emergency. On this aircraft the landing gear must be extended manually with the left engine inop. The pilot ^privac^ started the process of manual extension on a 4 mile final. He pumped the hydraulic handle "about 20 times" with no green lights. He stopped the procedure and did not use the CO2 blow down bottle. On final he asked the tower to check his gear. The tower reported it appeared down. During the flare, or just prior, a pilot on the ground observed that the nose gear was not locked. That pilot announced the fact over tower frequency. The pilot ^privac^ heard the report and added power to the operating engine. The aircraft pitched up, yawed left, and rolled left. The left wing tip struck the runway, followed by the nose of the aircraft. The tail then dropped and struck the ground just off the runway. The aircraft settled onto the ground and slid sideways impacting a taxiway sign and then to a stop in the area between parallel runways. There was no fire. No injuries resulted.
