Factual narrative

THE ACFT SUFFERED A COLLAPSED NOSE GEAR AFTER LOSING AND REGAINING POWER DURING AN ILS APPROACH AND FINALLY COMPLETING AN EMERGENCY LANDING TWO MILES FROM THE RWY OF INTENDED LANDING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND NO FIRE. EXAMINATION OF THE ACFT IN THE FIELD REVEALED 4 OUNCES OF FUEL IN THE RIGHT FUEL TANK AND NO FUEL IN THE LEFT TANK. THE PLT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAGES INDICATED FULL TANKS WHEN HE DEPARTED GREENSBORO (HIS INITIAL DEPARTURE POINT) HOWEVER, HE ALSO ADDED THAT HE HAD NOT VISUALLY CHECKED THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANKS PRIOR TO TAKEOFF.
