## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT WAS ENROUTE FROM VERO BEACH, FL (VRB) TO YORK, NE (JYR). JUST PRIOR TO APPROACHING YORK AIRPORT, THE PILOT STATED THAT HE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AT THE FRONT OF THE AIRCRAFT. DURING APPROACH, THE LANDING GEAR WAS LOWERED AND THE PILOT DID NOT GET A NOSE LANDING GEAR DOWN AND LOCKED INDICATION. A MECHANIC AT THE YORK AIRPORT OBSERVED THE AIRCRAFT FLY BY. THE MECHANIC RELAYED TO THE PILOT THAT THE NOSE GEAR WAS NOT IN THE NORMAL DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION. THE PILOT ELECTED TO DIVERT TO THE LINCOLN, NE (LNK) AIRPORT TO LAND DUE TO THE RUNWAY LENGTH AVAILABLE AND MAINTENANCE FACILITIES AT LINCOLN. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED AT LINCOLN ON RUNWAY 36. THE PILOT SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AT MAIN WHEEL TOUCHDOWN AND THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED ONTO ITS PROPELLER BLADES AFTER LANDING. TWO PROPELLER BLADES SUPPORTED THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT DURING LANDING. NO DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO THE AIRCRAFT FUSELAGE DURING LANDING.

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.
