## Narrative

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

(-23) PIC REPORTED THAT THE NOSE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED DURING LANDING ROLLOUT. DURING RECOVERY OF THE AIRCRAFT IT WAS NOTED BY MAINTENANCE THAT THE NOSE GEAR WAS RETRACTED INTO THE WHEEL WELL, THE LANDING GEAR CONTROL CIRCUIT WAS OPEN AND BOTH MAIN GEARS WERE DOWN AND LOCKED. NO OTHER MALFUNCTIONS OR DEFECT WAS NOTED.

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.
