THE PLT REPORTED THAT ON AN FAA CHECK FLT, THE NOSE GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE WHEN IT WAS LANDED WITH THE NOSE GEAR RETRACTED. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT A NOSE LANDING GEAR DOOR ROD ASSEMBLY HAD FAILED FROM FATIGUE & CAUSED THE NOSE GEAR DOOR TO JAM IN THE OPEN POSITION. IN TURN, THIS DISABLED THE NOSE GEAR SEQUENCING VALVE & PREVENTED THE NOSE GEAR FROM EXTENDING.
