## Discrepancy

POWER PACK SCREWS BROKE OFF IN-FLIGHT.   PILOT COULD NOT LOCK NOSE GEAR.  PILOT THEN PROCEEDED TO EXTEND MANUALLY, BUT NOSE GEAR DID NOT LOCK.  PROCEEDED TO MAKE A VERY SOFT LANDING AND AIRCRAFT HAD BOTH PROPS CUT OFF.  NOSE WHEELWELL DAMAGED, AND ENGINE REMOVED AND SENT TO P&W, CANADA.  POWER PACK REMOVED AND SENT TO RAYTHEON.  THEY STATED SCREWS WERE OVERTORQUED.
