## Narrative

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

N414CS DEPARTED ON A PART 91 FLIGHT FROM KSFM FOR KOSU VIA A FUEL STOP AT KELM.  AFTER DEPARTURE FROM KSFM, THE PIC INTENTIONALLY LEFT THE GEAR DOWN A LITTLE LONGER THAN NORMAL TO ALLOW ANY SNOW ACCUMULATION A LITTLE EXTRA TIME TO COME OFF OF THE TIRES. WHEN THE LANDING GEAR WAS RETRACTED, THE NOSE GEAR INDICATOR WAS STILL SHOWING AS EXTENDED AND A HYDRAULIC PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  THE PIC PULLED THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT BREAKER PER A CHECKLIST AND BEGAN A DIVERT TO KPWM.  WHILE DIVERTING, THE PIC RESET THE BREAKER AND CYCLED THE LANDING GEAR.  THE LANDING GEAR CYCLED NORMALLY AND NORMAL COCKPIT INDICATIONS RETURNED.  THE PIC THEN CONTINUED ON TO ORIGINAL DESTINATION AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT IN KELM AFTER A SLOW RIGHT MAIN GEAR EXTENSION.  THE PIC HAD NORMAL GEAR RETRACTION FROM KELM ENROUTE TO KOSU, HOWEVER UPON GEAR EXTENSION, THE RIGHT GEAR DID NOT EXTEND.  THE PIC THEN RECYCLED THE GEAR, THE GEAR DID EXTEND AND THE AIRCRAFT INDICATED 3 GREEN LIGHTS.  WITH THE AIRCRAFT INDICATING 3 GREEN LIGHTS, THE PIC CONTINUED WITH THE LANDING.  UPON LANDING, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED ON RUNWAY 27L.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS LIFTED BY KOSU LINE SERVICE / EQUIPMENT AND TOWED TO A HANGER WHERE A HYDRAULIC MULE WAS USED TO CYCLE THE GEAR TWICE.  DURING BOTH CYCLES, THE GEAR RETRACTED AND EXTENDED WHAT APPEARED NORMALLY AND THE GEAR APPEARED TO BE DOWN AND LOCKED.  THIS OFFICE WILL STAY IN CONTACT WITH THE MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL WORKING ON RESTORING THE AIRCRAFT TO SERVICE AND WILL PROVIDE AN AMMENDMENT WHEN NEW INFORMATION IS RECEIVED.
