## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE ATTEMPTING A ROUTINE LANDING AT THE SOUTH COUNTY AIRPORT SAN MARTIN, CALIFORNIA, AIRCRAFT N4JY'S NOSE GEAR FAILED TO EXTEND. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO EXTEND THE NOSE GEAR BY RECYLING THE GEAR AND EXECUTING THE FREE FALL PROCEDURE, ALL WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE PILOT CIRCLED THE AIRPORT FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES TO BURN OFF FUEL AND AT APPROXIMATELY 13:50 HOURS HE EXECUTED A TWO POINT LANDING WITH THE NOSE WHEEL STILL RETRACTED. THE AIRCRAFT LANDING WAS NORMAL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NOSE GEAR SUPPORT. THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED ON THE NOSE COWLING, DAMAGING THE PROPELLER, COWLING, AND NOSE GEAR HOUSING. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM THE RUNWAY AT THIS TIME FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION.

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.
