THE PILOT AND BUILDER OF THE AIRCRAFT WAS DOING TOUCH AND GOES AND ON THE SECOND TOUCH AND GO THE TOWER ADVISED THE PILOT THAT HIS NOSE WHEEL HAD FALLEN OFF, THE PILOT THEN DID A FLYBY OF THE TOWER TO CONFIRM. HE THEN LANDED WITHOUT THE NOSE WHEEL, MINIMAL DAMAGE WAS NOTED AS THE AIRPLANE SKIDDED ON THE REMAINING NOSE GEAR ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR AIRCRAFT MODEL AND THIS AIRPLANE HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT IN 2009.

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.
