LTT ACR TURBOPROP ACFT HAD UNSAFE NOSE GEAR INDICATION AND ALL PROCS TO CORRECT IT DIDN'T WORK. JUST PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN; PNF; CAPT FEATHERED BOTH ENGS RESULTING IN A ROLL ON TOUCHDOWN. NOSE GEAR HELD AND; OTHER THAN A BAD LNDG; ALL WAS NORMAL.

Narrative

NOSE GEAR INDICATOR MALFUNCTIONED. DID NOT SHOW 3 GREEN (DOWN AND LOCKED). DECLARED EMER. RECEIVED VECTORS FROM APCH FOR APPROX 20 MINS TO TROUBLESHOOT PROB; TALK TO COMPANY MAINT AND DISPATCH; BURN OFF EXTRA FUEL AND BRIEF PAX. CHANGING BULBS IN GEAR INDICATOR DID NOT SOLVE PROB. CAPT DECLINED TWR'S OFFER OF FLY-BY; SAYING HE COULD SEE NOSE GEAR'S REFLECTION IN SPINNER AND IT APPEARED DOWN. FO (PF) STATED HE WOULD LIKE A FLY-BY BUT AGREED THAT TWR WOULD BE UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF GEAR WAS LOCKED; SO ACQUIESCED IN CAPT'S DECISION TO COMMENCE APCH. FO FELT RUSHED; HOWEVER; AND ASKED CAPT TO REVIEW EMER CHKLIST AGAIN; WHICH HE DID ON 6 MI FINAL. APCH WAS NEAR PERFECT; UNTIL THE FLARE; AT WHICH TIME FO ALLOWED TOO MUCH AIRSPD TO BLEED OFF; TRYING TO KEEP NOSEWHEEL WELL CLR OF RWY; AND RECEIVED STICK SHAKER AND PRESTALL HORN APPROX 3 FT ABOVE RWY. FO'S L HAND WAS ON TRIM WHEEL; INSTEAD OF THROTTLES; AND TOOK A SECOND OR 2 TO REACH AROUND CAPT'S HANDS (WHICH WERE ON FEATHER LEVERS) TO INCREASE PWR. SIMULTANEOUSLY; CAPT FEATHERED BOTH ENGS (CHKLIST PROC CALLED FOR FEATHERING AFTER MAINS TOUCHED DOWN). R ENG FEATHERED A SECOND OR 2 PRIOR TO L; AND AIRPLANE ROLLED/YAWED R; IMPACTING ON R MAIN AND NOSEWHEEL (WHICH WAS; FORTUNATELY; DOWN AND LOCKED); BOUNCED A FT OR 2; AND SETTLED FIRMLY ON ALL 3 GEAR. NOT A HARD LNDG IN THE CLASSIC SENSE; BUT A POOR LNDG GIVEN THE SIT. FACTORS: 1) FO'S DISTR WITH LNDG NOSE HIGH LED TO FAILURE TO MAINTAIN AIRSPD. 2) CONFUSION CAUSED BY STICK SHAKER LED CAPT TO FEATHER JUST A SECOND OR 2 BEFORE MAINS TOUCHED. BAD LNDG COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY FO FLYING A NORMAL LNDG INSTEAD OF FIXATING ON GEAR PROB; CAPT FEATHERING AFTER TOUCHDOWN PER CHKLIST; AND BOTH PLTS TAKING TIME TO BRIEF AND REHEARSE LNDG SEQUENCE.
