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
The private pilot had just completed a short no-radio night flight and during the landing roll the nose gear wheel assembly separated from the aircraft. Examination revealed that the wrong nuts had been installed on the wheel assembly at the last annual inspection. The last annual inspection was conducted eighteen months before the date of the accident.
