What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
N8433Y thought nose gear was not functioning properly and wanted the tower to view during a fly by. Tower stated that the nose gear did not appear down but left and right main landing gears were down. Pilot decided to land and the tower alerted airport rescue and fire fighting department. Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft touched down on the main landing gear and on landing roll when the nose of the aircraft pushed down the aircraft came to rest on its nose due to the nose landing gear not being extended. The pilot and passenger exited the aircraft without assistance. All three propeller blades were bent due to impact with the tarmac while spinning. Slight scuffing to the underside of the lower engine cowl was noted.
