## Narrative

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

(-23) THE AIRCRAFT WAS LANDED WITHOUT THE NOSE LANDING GEAR IN THE DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION DUE TO THE FAILURE OF MECHANICAL LINKAGE UTILIZED IN THE RETRACTION/EXTENSION SYSTEM OF THE NOSE LANDING GEAR. THE FAILURE OF THE MECHANICAL LINKAGE WAS CAUSED BY THE INABILITY OF THE NOSE LANDING GEAR STRUT CYLINDER TO FULLY EXTEND THAT RESULTED IN AN INTERFERENCE WITH THE NOSE LANDING GEAR DOOR LINKAGE. THAT INTERFERENCE APPLIED AN ABNORMAL LOAD TO THE RETRACTION/EXTENSION MECHANICAL LINKAGE WHEN THE LANDING GEAR WAS IN THE PROCESS OF RETRACTION.

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.
