What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
When coming into land at Kewn I selected my gear down. With no green light indicated I looked outside to see my nose gear was not extended, I recycled the gear a few more times with no success. I reverted to the emergency gear extension checklist and after multiple attempts that was unsuccessful. I then did a soft landing to make sure that my main gears were locked in the down position then performed a hard bounce landing to see if the gear would shake free. The attempt was unsuccessful. I had decided that all my options had been exhausted so I proceeded on a landing with out a nose gear but both main gears. I performed 2 practice landings on runway 32 to get an idea of where I would need to land at to make it across the intersecting runway(4¬-22). On the 3rd attempt I when through my emergency landing checklist and secured my cockpit then came in and landed on runway 32 coming to a stop past runway 4¬-22. After the aircraft came to a stop I got out of the aircraft to the left and waited on the grass for emergency crews to arrive.
