## Narrative

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

AN EXHAUST CLAMP WAS MISSING ALLOWING THE EXHAUST PIPE TO INTERFERE WITH THE NOSE LANDING GEAR DURING RETRACTION.  THE NOSE GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT FULLY OR EXTEND.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT THE NOSE GEAR EXTENDED CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER.

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