## Narrative

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

DURING FLIGHT, PILOT WAS UNABLE TO GET THE NOSE LANDING GEAR TO SHOW DOWN AND LOCKED DURING APPROACH AT FIELD 4A4.  EMERGENCY PROCEDURES WERE FOLLOWED AND THE NOSE LANDING GEAR STILL WAS NOT COMING DOWN. PILOT DECIDED TO FLY  AIRCRAFT TO FIELD PUJ FOR AN EMERGENCY LANDING. AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH THE NOSE GEAR UP AND NO INJURIES OCCURRED OR DAMAGE TO ANY GROUND STRUCTURES. AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM THE RWY TO A LOCAL HANGAR. GROUND INSPECTION REVEALED DAMAGE TO THE NOSE LANDING GEARBOX RETRACTION SPLINE. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE REAR LINKAGE WAS SHEARED AND BUSTED AT THE GEARBOX SPLINE. THIS COULD BE DETERMINED TO BE THE PROBABLE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT. DAMAGE TO THE REAR RETRACT LINKAGE COULD HAVE HAPPEN FROM BEING WORN THROUGH WEAR AND TEAR OVER TIME DUE TO THE AGE OF THE AIRCRAFT AND/OR  PREVIOUS LANDINGS. NO LOGBOOK MAINTENANCE WAS NOTED AS BEING DONE IN THIS AREA.

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.
