## Narrative

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

DURING DESCENT THE CREW FELT A VIBRATION.  THEN A CAUTION MESSAGE THAT THE #2 HYRAULIC PRESSURE WAS LOW.  DEVERTED TO PDX AND DECLARED AN EMERGENCY.  COULD NOT EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR NORMALLY SO USED THE ALTERNATE METHOD.  ON LANDING ROLL OUT THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED A SEVERE NOSE GEAR SHIMMY.   THE NOSE LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY AND BOTH TIRE ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACE DUE TO THE SHIMMY.

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.
