## Narrative

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

(-23) ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2005 AT ABOUT 1040 CENTRAL DAYLIGHT TIME, THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA^ A PRIVATE PILOT LANDED AT KENOSHA AIRPORT, KENOSHA WI WITH A GLASAIR N9KK. AFTER LANDING THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DAT^ WAS NOT SURE IF HE HAD ALL GREEN TO INDICATE THAT THE GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED. A RETRACTION WAS ACCOMPLISHED. THE MAINS WENT DOWN AND LOCKED WITH GREEN LIGHTS ON. THE NOSE GREEN LIGHT WENT ON THEN OFF, NOT A POSITIVE LOCK. THE ELECTRICAL SWITCHES REQUIRED ADJUSTMENT. THIS FLIGHT WAS OPERATED UNDER PART 91. NO FLIGHT PLAN WAS ON FILE. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.

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.
