## Narrative

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

ON JANUARY 22, 2013 AT APPROXIMATELY 1500 CDT PIC ATTEMPTED A TAKEOFF FROM THE FAIRMONT STATE AIRFIELD (FMZ) IN A CESSNA 150, N3593L. DURING THE ATTEMPTED TAKEOFF THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED ON THE RUNWAY CAUSING THE PROPELLER TO STRIKE THE GROUND. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ON THE NORTH EAST END OF THE RUNWAY NEAR THE GRASS. THE AIRCRAFT PROPELLER, LOWER COWLING, RIGHT WING TIP FAIRING, NOSE GEAR, AND ENGINE MOUNT WERE DAMAGED. THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE A RESULT OF A MECHANICAL FAILURE. IT APPEARS THAT THE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT DURING TAKEOFF.

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.
