## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED IT WAS THE SECOND DAY OF FLYING THE AIRCRAFT AFTER IT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE FROM AN ANNUAL INSPECTION AND OVERHAULING THE ENGINE AND PROPELLER.PILOT MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR.  HE WAS GETTING TWO MAIN GEAR GREEN LIGHTS, AND NO NOSE GEAR LIGHT.  PILOT DID A TOWER FLY-BY TO GET A VISUAL TO SEE WHETHER THE MAIN AND NOSE GEAR WERE DOWN.  HE WAS TOLD THAT THE NOSE GEAR WAS HALF WAY DOWN.  PILOT STATED HE WENT THROUGH THE EMERGNCY GEAR EXTENSION CHECK LIST TO NO AVAIL.  PILOT DID AN EMERGENCY LANDING WITH THE NOSE IN THE HALF WAY DOWN EXTENDED POSITION.

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.
