## Narrative

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

N874CP, BA JETSTREAM-321, WAS OPERATED AS A COMMERCIAL FLIGHT BY CORPORATE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT UNDER USC 14 CFR PART 135.  THE FLIGHT DEPARTED ST. LOUIS, MO ENROUTE TO GRAND ISLAND, NE (GRI).  ON APPROACH INTO GRI, THE CREW ADVISED THE TOWER THAT THEY HAD NO INDICATION THAT THE NOSE GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED.  THEY DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND FLEW AROUND TO BURN FUEL.  THEY LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  UPON TOUCH DOWN THE CREW RECEIVED A GREEN LIGHT FOR THE NOSE GEAR.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS FERRIED TO SMYRNA, TN.  COMPANY MECHANICS CLEANED THE NOSE GEAR DOWNLOCK INDICATOR MICROSWITCH, AND SWUNG THE GEAR WITH NO DISCREPANCIES.

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.
