## Narrative

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

(-23) THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE CALDWELL, ID AIRPORT (EUL) AND DURING LANDING GEAR RETRACTION THE PILOT HEARD A LOUD "BANG." HE LOWERED THE LANDING GEAR AND DID NOT GET A "GEAR DOWN" SAFE INDICATION (3 GREEN LIGHTS). HE RETURNED TO EUL FOR A LOW APPROACH TO CHECK THE POSITION OF THE LANDING GEAR. GROUND PERSONNEL OBSERVED THE NOSE GEAR WAS DOWN BUT NOT LOCKED AND THE MAIN GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED. THE PILOT FOLLOWED THE AIRCRAFT EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION CHECK LIST. THE GEAR STILL INDICATED "UNSAFE." THE PILOT THEN FLEW TO BOISE, ID (KBOI) TO MAKE THE LANDING BECAUSE OF THE FIRE AND RESCUE AVAILABILITY. DURING LANDING THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE GEAR DOORS, NOSE AREA SKIN PROPELLERS. NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT AND INSTRUCTOR.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

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