## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT STATED THAT AFTER LANDING DURING ROLL OUT WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKES THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. THE PROPELLER AND PROPELLER SPINNER WAS DAMAGED. THE PILOT WAS THE ONLY PERSON ABOARD THE AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED. THE HYDRAULIC ACTUATOR USED TO RETRACT AND EXTEND THE NOSE LANDING GEAR WAS OBSERVED TO BE LEAKING HYDRAULIC FLUID DURING OPERATION. WHEN THE ACTUATOR WAS DISASSEMBLED THE PISTON SEAL WAS FOUND TO BE TORN AND FLUID WAS BYPASSING THE PISTON DURING OPERATION. THE ACTUATOR DID NOT PRODUCE THE FORCE NECESSARY TO OVERPOWER THE AIR LOAD EXERTED ON THE NOSE GEAR DURING FLIGHT. HYDRAULIC PRESSURE IN THE ACTUATOR WAS LOW BECAUSE THE FLUID BYPASSED THE TORN PISTON SEAL. THE PRESSURE DROPPED AFTER THE ELECTRIC HYDRAULIC PUMP WAS SHUT OFF. THE ACTUATOR HAS APPROXIMATELY 400 HOURS OF OPERATION SINCE THE AIRCRAFT WAS BUILT.

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.
