What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During a annual competency check (135.293) in which the check airman was being observed by a national resource for designation as a checkairman, the pilot touchdown firmly and let the nosewheel drop hard and a nosewheel shimmy developed. The check instructor immediately took control of the aircraft, lifting it into a hover. The 3 individuals in the aircraft discussed what occurred and decided it would be best to have the nosewheel inspected by maintenance at the home base, kpvd. The nosewheel was inspected by maintenance and no problems noted. On the following morning during an inspection of the aircraft, wrinkling was noted on the right side of the tailboom skin, and the FAA FSDO and regional operations center was notified.
