## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT MADE A NIGHT VFR FLIGHT FROM CAMDENTON, MO (K21) TO ALBANY, MO (K19). THE PREFLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED NO ABNORMALITIES. THE FLIGHT WAS UNEVENTFUL UNTIL LANDING. UPON ARRIVAL AT K19, THE PILOT REPORTED OBSERVING THREE GREEN LIGHTS ON THE LANDING GEAR INDICATOR AND FEELING THE NOSE WHEEL CYCLE THROUGH THE RUDDER PEDALS WHILE IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN. DURING THE LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ON THE MAIN GEAR AND THE PILOT LOWERED THE NOSE. THE NOSE CONTINUED TO SETTLE BEYOND THE NORMAL ATTITUDE AND THE PILOT OBSERVED AN OBJECT SHOOT OUT AHEAD OF THE AIRPLANE, A SHOWER OF SPARKS, AND HEARD THE PROPELLER STRIKE THE GROUND. THE AIRPLANE STOPPED ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN THE RUNWAY. THE FORK FOR THE NOSE WHEEL WAS IN THE DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION; HOWEVER, THE NOSE WHEEL WAS MISSING. THE NOSE WHEEL AND SCISSORS ASSEMBLY WAS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET BEYOND THE AIRPLANE. NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT AND TWO PASSENGERS. DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER, ENGINE, AND NOSE WHEEL ASSEMBLY. INCIDENT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ CLOSED.

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.
