What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The PIC reported that his landing was normal until the nose wheel collapsed during roll-out, causing the propeller to contact the runway. However, according to an airport employee who witnessed the incident, the first landing attempt resulted in a go-around. During the approach, the witness stated that it appeared that the nose gear contacted the runway first. The airplane rose back in the air, and then it appeared that either the airplane stalled or the pilot tried to force it on. In any event, when the airplane contacted the runway again, the nose gear collapsed. Post-incident inspection of the nose gear lower strut assembly fracture showed indications of stress overload, including excessive side-loading. There also appeared to be faint discoloration along the fracture edge, indicating the possiblity of a pre-existing crack. This incident nr privacy data omitted, is closed with this report.
