## Narrative

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

(-23) R.O. DAILY REPORT INDICATES AN AIRCRAFT INCIDENT OCCURRED AT LONG BEACH AIRPORT AT 1855 PDT ON AUGUST 24, 2007. CESSNA T210 AIRCRAFT N6448Y WAS REPORTED TO HAVE HAD A NOSE GEAR THAT WOULD NOT EXTEND ON LANDING. INVESTIGATION AND INTERVIEW WITH THE PILOT REVEALED THAT MAIN LANDING GEAR EXTENDED AND LOCKED NORMALLY, BUT THE NOSE GEAR REMAINED THE WHEEL WELL. MANUAL EXTENSION PROCEDURES AND AIRCRAFT MANEUVERS DID NOT FORCE THE GEAR TO EXTEND. A NOSE GEAR UP LANDING WAS EXECUTED AT LONG BEACH AIRPORT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT OR INJURY TO THE OCCUPANTS. INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT FOUND THE FORWARD NOSE LANDING GEAR DOORS SCRAPED AND DENTED, THE EXHAUST STACK GROUND DOWN, THE LOWER ENGINE COWLS SCRAPED ON THE BOTTOM EDGES, AND THE PROP TIPS BENT BACKWARD FROM THE PROP STRIKE. THE RIGHT HAND GEAR DOOR HAD A VERTICAL TEAR APPROXIMATELY MIDWAY DOWN THE UPPER EDGE, AND THE TURBO COWL HAD SEVERAL INDENTATIONS AT A MATCHING LOCATION ON ITS UPPER EDGE.

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.
