What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On September 21st, 2010,approximately 0905LOCAL time, a Beech K35, N3081C, landed at window Rock airport (rqe) Arizona and midway down the runway encountered a nose gear collapse. In a statement received from the pilot during an initial phone conversation and a subsequent e-mail with a written statement, the piloted stated that his approach into window Rock (rqe) was normal. There were no indicated issues with the aircraft. Upon entering a left downwind for runway 20, he extended the landing gear. Both pilot and his passenger verbally confirmed that the landing gear light was green, and the mechanical indicator was on the 'down and locked' position. The pilot went through a gump (gas, undercarriage, mixture, and propeller) check. The pilot followed the basic turns to final and had 30 degrees of flaps in for the landing. He touched down just beyond the numbers on runway 20. He landed somewhat fast and the aircraft had a small bounce before settling. The pilot also stated that since he landed fast he allowed the aircraft to roll out and applied minimal breaking. On landing roll out at approximately mid way down the runway the pilot stated he heard a bang sound and then the gear warning alarm started beeping. Shortly after, the nose collapsed and the prop struck the runway. The pilot initiated greater brake application and proceeded to pull the fuel mixture out cutting all fuel to the engine. The aircraft then started to drag to the left and the skidding was pulling it in a diagonal vector. The right wing then came down when the right main collapsed. The tip of the right wing touched momentarily on the ground. Shortly after, the aircraft came to a complete stop. There were no reported injuries to the pilot and passenger as they both disembarked the aircraft.
