What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) During 4th touch and go landing on runway 32, at Melbourne international airport, student pilot heard a loud noise from the nose landing gear area. Student applied full throttle and took off to ascertain condition of nose gear from the Melbourne control tower. Melbourne tower informed occupants that main gear was out, but nose gear was retracted. The aircraft has fixed gear, so this translated to the pilot and student that the nose gear had separated from the aircraft during last landing. Instructor pilot took control of the aircraft and with the assistance of another company aircraft in Melbourne's airspace plotted a course of action. Instructor pilot executed a soft field landing on runway 9L at Melbourne international airport without incident, no emergency was declared. Aircraft sustained minor damage to nose gear arm, belly panel and tip of propeller.
