## Narrative

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

(-23) AFTER TAKEOFF, THE CREW NOTED THEY HAD HEARD A CRACK AND THE GEAR INTRANSIT LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. PASSENGERS WERE DEPLANED ON THE RUNWAY. MAINTENANCE PINNED THE GEAR AT WHICH TIME THEY NOTED THAT THE RETRACT ACTUATOR ATTACH PIN HAD SEPARATED FROM THE NOSE STRUT. THE FSDO WAS NOTIFIED WHEN AN INSPECTOR WAS CONDUCTING ROUTINE SURVEILLANCE AT THE RAMP FACILITY. AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL NEVER CONTACTED THE FSDO.

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.
