## Discrepancy

AFTER LANDING AND WHILE ROLLING OUT, THE NOSE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED.  THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ON THE NOSE GEAR AND NOSE GEAR DOORS (AND MLG).  THE BELLY WAS NOT DAMAGED.  AFTER INSPECTING THE NOSE LANDING GEAR IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DRAG BRACE SUPPORT HAD CRACKED AT THE PIVOT POINT.  THE AIRCRAFT MFG IS AWARE THAT THIS IS A WEAK SPOT IN THE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM AND HAS A CUSTOM KIT THAT CAN BE INSTALLED.  THE LOCAL FSDO INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT ON SITE AND DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS A MINOR INCIDENT.  RECOMMEND THE CUSTOM KIT BE INSTALLED ON ALL MFG AIRCRAFT.  (K)
