What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot stated that, on the 2nd landing, on runway 18 at kset, the aircraft touched down normally. The nose wheel touched the runway and was lifted slightly. When the nose wheel was lowered again at 15 to 20 knots, the aircraft settled on the engine cowling and stopped. The nose strut tube had severed and the nose wheel was behind the aircraft. Report will be amended to capture what the operations inspector's actions will be.
