## Narrative

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

(-23) ON AUGUST 3, 2006, N9425D A CESSNA 172RG WAS LANDING ON RUNWAY 1L AT THE RICHARD L. JONES AIRPORT IN JENKS, OK. ITS NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED SHORTLY AFTER TOUCHDOWN. THERE WAS ONLY MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT'S PROPELLER, LOWER COWLING, AND LANDING GEAR DOORS. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT WERE NOT INJURED. IN THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR'S ACCOUNT OF THE INCIDENT, HE STATES THAT HE WAS FINISHING A COMMERCIAL PILOT TRAINING FLIGHT. HE AND THE RATED STUDENT PILOT HAD FLOWN THREE CIRCUITS IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN. ON THE INCIDENT APPROACH THEY WERE PRACTICING A SHORT FIELD LANDING. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE STUDENT PILOT COMPLETED THE LANDING, THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR REMINDED HIM TO RETRACT THE FLAPS. AT THIS TIME THE STUDENT GRABBED AND INADVERTENTLY MOVED THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE. WHEN THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR HEARD THE GEAR PUMP CYCLE HE QUICKLY PUT THE GEAR LEVER INTO THE DOWN POSITION, BUT THE NOSE GEAR HAD ALREADY STARTED TO COLLAPSE. AS SOON AS THE PROPELLER BEGAN TO STRIKE THE RUNWAY THE INSTRUCTOR PULLED THE MIXTURE TO IDLE CUTOFF. AFTER THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP HE TURNED OFF THE MASTER SWITCH AND HE AND THE STUDENT BOTH EXITED THE AIRCRAFT. XXXX NOTHING FOLLOWS XXXX
