Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
According to the pilot, during the landing roll he is accustomed to keeping the nose gear off the runway until the ground speed has slowed. The pilot stated he did not check the landing gear condition lights. Upon lowering the nose, the acft propeller and underside contacted the runway, substantially damaging the acft. During post accident tests the landing gear was recycled aprx 50 times, each time the nose gear functioned normally.
