What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On September 4, 2008, while performing dual flight training the pilot lowered the landing gear in flight to perform slow flight training. The pilot noticed a red unsafe light and no green nose landing gear indication. The pilot attempted several gear extensions and retractions with the same results. The pilot attempted several flight maneuvers to get the nose landing to release but it did not. The pilot then verified with the dab tower that the landing gear was in fact still up as he confirmed through his visual aid as well. The pilot then proceeded to burn off fuel and then landed on the two main landing gear and then slowly lowered the nose as the airspeed bled off. There were no injuries to the flight instructor or student. The aircraft sustained minor damage to the airframe, and the propeller's sustained damage from striking the ground as the nose was lowered. This incident occurred on September 4, 2008 at the Daytona Beach International Airport, Daytona Florida. A gear swing after the aircraft was removed from the runway produced no obvious indications of a mechanical failure. Gear swing normal as well as the emergency extension process. Maintenance facility to troubleshoot further.
