## Narrative

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

ON FEBRUARY 12, AT 1647 PST, THE NOSE WHEEL ASSEMBLY ON INCIDENT AIRCRAFT, N360KS, DEPARTED FROM THE (FIBERGLASS) NOSE GEAR STRUT DURING AN UNUSUALLY FAST LANDING. THE NOSE SETTLED APPROXIMATELY ONE FOOT DOWN FROM THE AIRPLANE, AND THE AIRPLANE WAS DIRECTIONALLY STABLE, GRINDING ON THE STRUT. THE AIRCRAFT BRAKES REMAINED EFFECTIVE. ONLY DAMAGE WAS TO THE NOSE GEAR STRUT, AND A DENT IN THE RIM OF THE NOSE WHEEL. INCIDENT PILOT WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE AIRPLANE OFF OF THE RUNWAY WITHIN MINUTES, AND THE RUNWAY REOPENED AFTER AIRPORT OPERATIONS RETRIEVED THE NOSE WHEEL.

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.
