## Narrative

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

DURING ROLLOUT AFTER LANDING IN BRUNSWICK, GA AT BQK ON RUNWAY 25, THE AIRCRAFT'S NOSE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE AIRCRAFT BECAME DISABLED ON THE RUNWAY.  FAA INSPECTORS OBSERVED HEAVY PROP STRIKE DAMAGE TO ALL THREE PROPELLOR TIPS.  ADDITIONALLY, INSPECTORS NOTED NOSE LANDING GEAR AND WHEEL DAMAGE, EXTENSIVE SHEET METAL DAMAGE ON THE NOSE LANDING GEAR DOORS AND SURROUNDING AIRCRAFT BELLY AREA.  INVESTIGATION REVEALED TWO BOLTS ATTACHING THE RETRACT MECHANISM TO THE UPPER BRACE APPEAR TO HAVE SHEARED AND THE RETRACT MECHANISM BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE UPPER BRACE.  INVESTIGATION COULD NOT DETRMINE IF THE SHEARED BOLTS WERE CAUSAL OR THE RESULT OF THE GEAR COLLAPSE INCIDENT.  THIS REPORT MAY BE AMENDED UPON RECEIPT OF FURTHER EVIDENCE OBTAINED BY THIS OFFICE DURING THE REPAIR OF THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
