Buffalo Airways flight BFL202, was passing approximately 5000 feet during the initial climb when the crew noted an uncommanded extension of the nose gear and heard sounds consistent with the nose gear banging against the fuselage. The crew actioned the emergency checklists, contacted company operations, and declared an emergency with ATC. The flight continued to YZF where aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) were on standby. During the landing roll, the nose gear collapsed rearward. The aircraft remained on the runway, there was no fire, and there were no injuries.
