## Discrepancy

PILOT SELECTED GEAR DOWN FOR LANDING AND HAD NO NOSE INDICATION. HE PERFORMED A LOW LEVEL PASS AND GROUND PERSONNEL DETERMINED THAT THE NOSE GEAR WAS NOT IN THE DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION. A GEAR UP LANDING WAS MADE WITH MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED THE NOSE ACTUATOR HAD FAILED INTERNALLY.
