## Narrative

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

THE INCIDENT AIRCRAFT WAS ON A VFR FLIGHT FROM OPELOUSAS, LA (KOPL) TO GULFPORT, MS (KGPT) WHEN THE PILOT NOTICED THE RH FUEL TANK WAS BEING USED FASTER THAN THE LH FUEL TANK. THE PILOT ELECTED TO DIVERT TO HAMMOND, LA (KHDC) AND LAND TO INVESTIGATE HIS FUEL BURN ISSUE.  DURING TOUCHDOWN AT KHDC ON RUNWAY 36, THE NOSE WHEEL CAME OFF AND AIRCRAFT GRINDED TO A HALT ON THE NOSE STRUT FORK APPROXIMATELY 450 FEET DOWN RUNWAY 36.  THE PILOT & PASSENGER (2 POB) EXITED THE AIRCRAFT AFTER ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITH NO INJURIES.

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.
