What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Airman stated that during departure climb segment the annunciator warned that there was a "low fuel pressure" condition. Airman proceeded to address the issue in an effort to remedy problem. When airman was unable to remedy the condition, with power diminishing, he elected to return to Morrisville airport. The aircraft approached the airport runway with adequate speed and altitude to make a normal/safe landing, however, nosewheel impacted pavement with what appears to be excessive force which resulted in failure of nosewheel assembly.
