## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING CLIMB-OUT FROM KJLN, THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THE LANDING GEAR "IN TRANSIENT" LIGHT REMAINED ON AFTER SELECTING GEAR-UP.  RETURNING TO KJLN FOR LANDING, THE NOSE GEAR STRUT AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT AFTER TOUCHDOWN.  THE AIRCRAFT NOSE LOWERED TO THE RUNWAY AND SKIDDED APPROXIMATELY 800 FEET.  POST-INCIDENT INSPECTION OF THE NOSE GEAR STRUT ASSEMBLY BY THE OWNER/OPERATOR SHOWED INDICATIONS OF STRESS OVERLOAD AND THE POSSIBILITY OF PRE-EXISTING CRACK.  THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED GEAR RETRACT AND NOSE DOOR ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS, RESULTING IN ABNORMAL GEAR INDICATIONS.  NOSE-GEAR SHIMMY PROBLEMS, WELL KNOWN TO VELOCITY AIRCRAFT OWNERS AND THE MANUFACTURER, MAY HAVE PRECIPITATED THESE CONDITIONS.  INCIDENT NUMBER ICE052009014 IS CLOSED WITH THIS REPORT.
