The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On 11/3/07, at approximately 0945 MST, the pilot departed ffz rwy 4R at ffz in bonanza N9831R. Shortly after takeoff, he selected the landing gear handle to the up position, and the green gear-down indicator illuminated. He placed the gear selector handle switch back down, and then up again. The green gear-down indicator still stayed illuminated. He placed the gear selector handle in the down position; the green gear-down indicator stayed illuminated and the manual nose gear down indicator showed the nose gear weas down. Upon landing, when the weight was placed on the nose gear, it collapsed, causing the prop to strike the runway. The aircraft skidded on its nose to a stop. Prior to removing the aircraft from the runway, it was determined that both main landing gear were down but not closed. The aircraft was placed on jacks, and the landing gear motor circuit breaker had to be pushed in, allowing all 3 gear to lock down.
