## Narrative

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

N9343D ADVISED THE CALDWELL AIRPORT (CDW) TOWER OF AN UNSAFE GEAR INDICATION. AFTER EMERGENCY SERVICES ARRIVED THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH ITS NOSE GEAR RETRACTED. THE AIRCRAFT OBTAINED MINOR DAMAGES TO THE NOSE LANDING GEAR DOORS. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT AND STUDENT.

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.
