## Narrative

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

PER PILOTS STATEMENT THAT HE TOUCHED DOWN AND THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED.  TECHNICIANS WHO REMOVED AIRCRAFT FROM RUNWAY STATED THAT THE GEAR OVERCENTER SHAFT WAS MOVING AT ONE END BUT NOT THE OTHER.  THIS IS A SOLID SHAFT WHICH PASSES THROUGH A HOUSING WITH BELLCRANKS ON BOTH ENDS.  WHEN MOVED, BOTH ENDS SHOULD MOVE TOGETHER SINCE THEY ARE CONNECTED BY A COMMON SHAFT.  RADOME, RADOME MOINT BULKHEAD, NOSE GEAR DOORS AND NOSE GEAR PUSH PULL ROD, AND BOTH PROPS ARE DAMAGED.  THERE IS A BUCKLE IN THE SKIN BELOW THE PILOTS WINDSHIELD.  ALL FLIGHT CONTROLS, NOTH WINGS AND TAIL HAVE NO SIGNS OF DAMAGE.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
