CRJ2
The NTSB reported that following the nose gear up landing the nose of the aircraft was lifted and the nose gear extended. Following being ferried to Fresno the NTSB had the nose gear removed from the aircraft and sent to the manufacturer for laboratory examination with no significant findings. However, the report mentioned the force needed to manually extend the gear was about 50lbs validating the crew report the alternate gear handle was hard to move. The report also mentioned that three gaps to permit play of mechanical parts were smaller than required. Hydraulic fluid samples were taken and revealed no anomaly except for the upload actuator servo which showed less cleanliness (NAS class 12) than required (NAS class 9 or better).
On Aug 8th 2012 the NTSB released their final report concluding the probable cause of the accident was:
Failure of the airplaneÂ’s nose landing gear to extend for undetermined reasons.
