Narrative:
On visual approach to runway 36L cvg following ILS, called for gear down at 3000 ft. Nose gear failed to deploy. Followed the 'gear disagree' QRH procedures. Nose gear came down, landed without incident. Called as precaution. Upon landing the nosewheel steering failed. We cleared the runway, followed the 'steering inoperative' QRH procedures. This did not resolve the problem. We shut down the aircraft and maintenance towed the aircraft to the hangar. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter said that the gear up lock is normally retracted by hydraulics. Alternate extension is electrical. No report back has been received from maintenance as to the cause. However, the loss of nosewheel steering suggests a hydraulic problem. There was no loss of fluid.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A CL65 HAS NOSE GEAR FAIL TO EXTEND. USED QRH TO EXTEND GEAR AND LNDG WAS NORMAL ONLY TO FIND NOSEWHEEL STEERING INOP.
Narrative: ON VISUAL APCH TO RWY 36L CVG FOLLOWING ILS, CALLED FOR GEAR DOWN AT 3000 FT. NOSE GEAR FAILED TO DEPLOY. FOLLOWED THE 'GEAR DISAGREE' QRH PROCS. NOSE GEAR CAME DOWN, LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. CALLED AS PRECAUTION. UPON LNDG THE NOSEWHEEL STEERING FAILED. WE CLRED THE RWY, FOLLOWED THE 'STEERING INOP' QRH PROCS. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROB. WE SHUT DOWN THE ACFT AND MAINT TOWED THE ACFT TO THE HANGAR. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR SAID THAT THE GEAR UP LOCK IS NORMALLY RETRACTED BY HYDS. ALTERNATE EXTENSION IS ELECTRICAL. NO RPT BACK HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM MAINT AS TO THE CAUSE. HOWEVER, THE LOSS OF NOSEWHEEL STEERING SUGGESTS A HYD PROB. THERE WAS NO LOSS OF FLUID.
