Aircraft Equipment Problem Critical; Ground Event / Encounter Ground Strike - Aircraft
Aircraft Aircraft Damaged; Flight Crew Landed in Emergency Condition
Aircraft
While preparing for landing at the local airport the front landing gear did not extended. The mains came out as usual and provided 2 green lights but the front light remained red. After pulling the emergency handle the front still did not come out. I notified local traffic of my situation on the local unicom and proceeded to land. The landing was smooth until the nose hit the ground. No injuries; some damage.
Beagle 206 pilot reported landing with the nose gear retracted after it failed to extend using normal and emergency methods.
