Analysis
After taking off, the plt noted a malfunction of the landing gear sys. He then tried to lower the gear, but the nose gear would not extend. All attempts to extend the nose gear were unsuccessful, so the plt elected to make a wheels-up landing. After the landing, an exam revealed that the nose gear was cocked & jammed in the wheel well. An AN343H3A bolt, p/n 1243617-1, had sheared & allowed the nose gear to jam. The plt reported that the nose gear bearing had recently failed & the acft had run off the rwy & onto rough terrain. After the wheel bearing was repaired, the acft had made 3 takeoffs & 2 landings before the nose gear jammed on this flt.
