What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
A nose gear collapse incident occurred involving privacy data omitted at 14:15 Cahokia airport cps on a training flight. After takeoff the pilot retraced the gear, halfway through the gear’s normal retraction cycle they heard a thud noise. The gear unsafe indicator was illuminated; the pilot confirmed the nose gear had not retraced by looking in the mirror on the engine. The pilot recycled the gear, and it still did not indicate down and locked. Using the emergency gear extension checklist, the pilot switched bulbs on the gear position indicators, checked the circuit breakers and reset the gear indictor and warning breakers. He also reset the hydraulic pump control and power circuit breakers with no changes. The tower confirmed that all three gears were down, and they proceeded to make a landing back at cps. The nose gear collapsed on landing.
