## Narrative

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

ON ROLL-OUT AFTER LANDING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 KNOTS INDICATED NOSE WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE. PIC HAD TO USE DIFFERENTIAL THRUST TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF AIRCRAFT. SUBSEQUENTLY THE NOSE LANDING GEAR LOWER DRAG LEG ATTACH POINT BROKE AND NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. NO PREINCIDENT DAMAGE TO NOSE TIRE OR WHEEL COULD BE ASSESSED. REASON FOR SEVERE NOSE WHEEL VIBRATION IS UNDETERMINED AT THIS TIME.

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.
