## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED THAT DURING TRAFFIC PATTERN WORK THE LANDING GEAR DID NOT APPEAR TO BE OPERATING NORMALLY, AND NOSE GEAR WAS SLOW TO RETRACT.

ON FINAL LANDING THE NOSE GEAR WAS SLOW TO EXTEND.

ON LANDING THE NOSE GEAR JOLTED AND CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO SWERVE OFF THE RUNWAY.

AIRCRAFT WAS NOT OTHERWISE DAMAGED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED.

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.
