## Narrative

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

THIS WAS TO BE A 14 CFR 91 FLIGHT CARRYING ONE PASSENGER. THE PILOT WAS A CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR WITH AN ATP RATING. THIS WAS NOT AN INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT. IN A WRITTEN STATEMENT, THE PASSENGER ON BOARD THE AIRCRAFT STATED THAT AS THE PILOT POSITIONED AND STOPPED THE AIRCRAFT TO PERFORM A RUN-UP, THE NOSE OF THE AIRPLANE FELL TO THE GROUND WITH ALMOST NO NOISE OR BUMP. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON THE TAXIWAY. THE COLLAPSE ON THE NOSE GEAR RESULTED IN BOTH PROPELLERS STRIKING THE GROUND. THE OWNER OF THE AIRCRAFT STATED THAT BOTH PROPELLERS AND ENGINES REQUIRED OVERHAUL DUE TO THE PROPELLERS STRIKING THE GROUND. THE COLLAPSE OF THE NOSE GEAR ASSEMBLY WAS CAUSED BY A BOLT FAILURE. THE BOLT THAT FAILED IS ONE OF TWO BOLTS THAT CONNECT THE NOSE GEAR ACTUATING MECHANISM TO THE UPPER NOSE GEAR FORK ASSEMBLY. AS THE BOLT FAILED THE OVER-CENTER LOCKING FUNCTION OF THE NOSE GEAR ASSEMBLY WAS COMPROMISED ALLOWING RETRACTION OF THE NOSE GEAR ASSEMBLY INTO THE GEAR WELL AS THE AIRCRAFT WAS STOPPED. THE CAUSE OF THE BOLT FAILURE IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
