## Narrative

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

PILOT MADE A NORMAL LANDING ON RWY 31 WITH ALL GEAR INDICATING GREEN.  A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD FROM THE NOSE DURING ROLL OUT.  THE NOSE GEAR DOWN LOCK LIGHT EXTINGUISHED AND THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED SHORTLY AFTER.  THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDED ON IT'S NOSE AND CAME TO A STOP ON THE RUNWAY.  THE PILOT AND 5 PASSENGERS EXITED THE AIRCRAFT WITH NO INJURIES.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
