## Narrative

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

FOUND NOSE GEAR BROKEN JUST BELOW THE WELDS ON THE FRONT FORK PORTION. THE PROPELLER SUSTAINED DAMAGE ON ALL THREE BLADES. DURING INSPECTION, NO CORROSION OR METAL FATIGUE WAS NOTED. THERE WAS CHIPPED PAINT ON THE UPPER REAR FORK SUPPORT CROSS BEAM MATCHING UP WITH THE LEFT STRUT STOP BOLT ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE NOSE GEAR.

SIGNATURE FLIGHT SERVICE EMPLOYEES INVOLVED WERE INTERVIEWED TO IDENTIFY THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR MOVING N711PP. INSPECTED AND FOUND SATISFACTORY TRAINING RECORDS FOR THE LINE SERVICE PERSON. VIEWED SURVEILLANCE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF N711PP SHOWED BEING TOWED IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING ABOUT 10:15 AM ON THE DAY OF THE OCCURRENCE. RAMP PERSONNEL SHOWED US THE TUG AND TOW BAR USED. WHEN QUESTIONED, THE LINE SERVICE PERSON THAT HANDLED THE AIRCRAFT SEEMED CONFUSED AND COULD NOT DESCRIBE HOW TO VISUALLY DETERMINE THE TURNING LIMITS ON THE MOONEY. HE INCORRECTLY STATED THE TURN LIMIT WAS 45 DEGREES. THE AIRPLANE POH AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL LIST THE TURN LIMITATION AS 11 DEGREES LEFT OF CENTER AND 13 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT.

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.
