## Narrative

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

PILOT OF N77VY WAS CONDUCTING A HIGH-SPEED TAXI ON RUNWAY 29 AS PART OF PHASE 1 TESTING. AS HE WAS SLOWING DOWN THE AIRCRAFT FROM APPROXIMATELY 60 KNOTS, THE NOSE WHEEL STARTED TO SHIMMY. THE PILOT CONTINUED TO SLOW THE AIRCRAFT AND THE SHIMMY BECAME WORSE. AT APPROXIMATELY 10 KNOTS, THE NOSE WHEEL BROKE OFF. THE AIRCRAFT STOPPED ON THE RUNWAY ON IT'S MAIN LANDING GEAR AND THE TOP PORTION OF THE NOSE WHEEL STRUT. ALL FOUR OF THE PROPELLER BLADES SUSTAINED TIP DAMAGE. NO OTHER DAMAGE OR INJURIES WERE REPORTED.

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.
