## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS PERFOMING TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS WHEN ON THIRD LANDING THE NOSE LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND. HE TRIED TO PUMP AND ALSO USE G FORCE BUT GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND. DECLARED EMERGENCY AND SHUT DOWN ENGINE JUST PRIOR TO LANDING. DAMAGE LIMITED TO PROP STRIKE AND MINOR DAMAGE TO GEAR DOORS AND BELLY SKIN.

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.
