## Discrepancy

(CAN) 20 FEET AFTER TAXIING, THE STUD FROM A 20-3220-02-00_1 NOSE LANDING GEAR FAILED. AFTER TAKEOFF, THE NOSE FORK DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT WAS UNAWARE OF THIS AND PROCEEDED WITH UPPER AIR WORK. UPON LANDING, THE PILOT WAS PRACTICING SOFT FIELD LANDINGS. THE STRUT CONTACTED THE RUNWAY AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE AIRPLANE WAS QUICKLY REMOVED FROM THE RUNWAY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. (TC# 20190521020)
