## Narrative

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

(-23) THE MISHAP PILOT WAS IN THE LOCAL TRAFFIC PATTERN PREPARING TO LAND AND UPON EXTENDING THE LANDING GEAR HE FAILED TO GET A GREEN LIGHT AND HAD THE GEAR WARNING HORN SOUNDING. HE INFORMED THE TOWER OF THE PROBLEM, CYCLED THE GEAR THREE TIMES AND WAS ADVISED BY THE TOWER THAT THE NOSE LANDING GEAR APPEARED TO BE COCKED. AT THIS POINT HE DEPARTED THE TRAFFIC PATTERN SOUTHBOUND WHERE HE ATTEMPTED TO FURTHER EXTEND THE GEAR BY PITCHING ABRUPTLY UPWARD WITH NO EFFECT. HE THEN PERFORMED AN EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION, RETURNED TO THE LOCAL PATTERN AND WAS ADVISED THE NOSE GEAR STILL APPEARED TO BE COCKED BUT HE HAD A GREEN INDICATION AND NO WARNING HORN. AFTER LANDING AND DURING ROLLOUT THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED.

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.
