What was found

ARM ASSEMBLY THAT IS MOUNTED ON TOP OF NOSE GEAR, HELD IN PLACE BY 3 BOLTS (AN3H-7A) CAME LOOSE. THE THREADS WERE PULLED OUT OF TOP OF STRUT. THIS ALLOWED UNIT TO BIND ON STEERING BRACKET, WOULD NOT ALLOW GEAR TO FULLY EXTEND, TRIPPING CIRCUIT BREAKER. THIS PART SHOULD BE INSPECTED VERY CAREFULLY AT ANNUAL, BECAUSE THEY GET BROKEN BY TOWING.
