## Discrepancy

(AUS) DURING INSPECTION OF NOSE LANDING GEAR FOR A NOSE LANDING GEAR FAULT, THE NLG COLLAPSED, TRAPPING THE AME BETWEEN THE NOSE CONE AND THE GROUND. DUE TO THE QUICK REACTION OF WORKMATES, THE AME WAS RELEASED FROM BENEATH THE AIRCRAFT AND ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL WITH MINOR INJURIES. THE REASON FOR THE NLG COLLAPSE IS STILL BEING INVESTIGATED.
