THE LANDING WAS SLIGHTLY FIRM AND THE AIRPLANE RAN ON THE MAIN GEAR BEFORE THE NOSE GEAR LOWERED TO THE RUNWAY. AFTER THE NOSE GEAR WAS ON THE GROUND, PILOT APPLIED THE BRAKES.

AIRCRAFT HAS HAD PREVIOUS NOSE LANDING GEAR REPAIRS IN THE PAST TWO YEARS AND SERVICED ON THREE OCCASIONS.

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.
