## Narrative

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

(-23)AFTER A FLIGHT OF ABOUT ONE HOUR FOR INSTRUMENT FLIGHT TRAINING, THE NOSE GEAR FAILED TO EXTEND UPON RETURN TO THE AIRPORT. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THE EMERGENCY HAND PUMP HANDLE FELT "LOCKED UP" AND WAS UNABLE TO OPERATE IT NORMALLY. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH THE NOSE GEAR IN THE UP POSITION ON A GRASS AND DIRT SURFACE SHORT OF THE RUNWAY. NO ENGINE FAILURE WAS REPORTED. THE PROPELLER WAS DAMAGED AND INDICATED NO POWER APPLICATION DURING LANDING. THE LOWER NOSE SECTION WAS DAMAGED. REMAINDERS OF THE NOSE LANDING GEAR FORWARD DOORS WERE PRESENT AT THE HINGES. THE MAIN LANDING GEAR DOORS WERE IN THE OPEN POSITION AT LANDING AND WERE DAMAGED ALONG THE LEADING EDGES. MINOR DAMAGE WAS PRESENT IN THE NOSE LANDING GEAR TUNNEL. OF NOTE, WHEEL RUB MARKS ON THE UPPER WHEEL TUNNEL AND DOOR CLOSE ACTUATING CROSSOVER BAR ARE PRESENT. NO HYDRAULIC LEAKS WERE NOTED. PILOT WAS COUNSELED ON EMERGENCY PROCEDURES DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE DID NOT QUITE MAKE THE RUNWAY IN HIS EMERGENCY LANDING.

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.
