## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT REPORTED ALL 3 GEAR LIGHTS WERE GREEN. UPON TOUCHDOWN THE NOSE GEAR RETRACTED ALLOWING THE AIRCRAFT TO TOUCH DOWN ON THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT. INITIAL INSPECTION OF THE GEAR SHOWED THAT 3 BOLTS IN A HYDRAULIC STEERING ACTUATOR HAD BEEN SHEARED. THIS ALLOWED THE GEAR TO RETRACT WHEN WEIGHT WAS PLACED ON THE NOSE. CAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE 3 BOLTS HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED AT THIS TIME.

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.
