## Narrative

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

DURING A NORMAL APPROACH TO LAND, THE PILOT PLACED THE GEAR SELECTOR INTO THE DOWN POSITION.  ALTHOUGH BOTH MAIN GEARS EXTENDED NORMALLY, THE NOSE LANDING GEAR DID NOT EXTEND.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON RUNWAY 2 NORTH WITH THE NOSE LANDING GEAR STILL IN THE RETRACTED POSITION CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE EXHAUST, NOSE GEAR DOORS, AND PROPELLER. ONCE THE AIRCRAFT?S NOSE WAS LIFTED FROM THE RUNWAY SURFACE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THE RIGHT HAND NOSE GEAR DOOR WAS JAMMED WITH THE AIRCRAFT BELLY SKIN, PREVENTING THE NOSE GEAR DOORS FROM OPENING.  ONCE THE DOOR INTERFERENCE WAS MECHANICALLY OVERCOME, THE NOSE LANDING GEAR EXTENDED NORMALLY. THE AIRCRAFT WAS THEN TOWED OFF THE RUNWAY TO THE HANGER.

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.
