## Narrative

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

ON AUGUST 15, 2025, AT APPROXIMATELY 1918 PACIFIC DAYLIGHT TIME, A CESSNA 210 WAS CONDUCTING A PERSONAL FLIGHT.

WHILE ON APPROACH TO LAND, THE PILOT IN COMMAND ATTEMPTED TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR USING THE COCKPIT LANDING GEAR CONTROL. THE MAIN LANDING GEAR EXTENDED NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE NOSE GEAR DID NOT DEPLOY AS EXPECTED. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR, INCLUDING MANUAL EXTENSION PROCEDURES, WERE UNSUCCESSFUL.

THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED THE APPROACH AND LANDED ON THE RUNWAY, INITIALLY TOUCHING DOWN ON THE MAIN LANDING GEAR. DURING THE LANDING ROLL, THE AIRCRAFT’S NOSE SECTION SETTLED ONTO THE RUNWAY SURFACE WITH THE NOSE GEAR IN THE RETRACTED POSITION. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ON THE RUNWAY AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY SECURED.

NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE LIMITED TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE NOSE SECTION.

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.
