What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On approach to runway 26 at vay, the pilot noticed that the nose and right landing gear indicators were not lit. The pilot extended the downwind and made 2 attempts at cycling the landing gear. The pilot aborted the landing and went around the pattern. During the second go around the pattern, the pilot managed to get the right gear down through deploying the manual gear release, but the nose gear indicator remained unlit. The pilot attempted additional go arounds and observers on the ground indicated the nose gear was down, but could not confirm if it was locked.
On the 6th go around, on approach to runway 26, the pilot attempted to land. The two main gear touched down lightly. The nose gear only held the nose up for 1-2 seconds. The propeller struck the ground, and the aircraft came to rest to the left, on the grass.
