## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ON APRIL 29, 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 0750 HOURS EASTERN STANDARD TIME (1150 Z), A PIPER, PA-24-250, N7619P, LANDED ON RUNWAY 1 AT GREENWOOD MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (HFY).  WHILE ON ROLL OUT, THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED FOLLOWED BY THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR AND THE NOSE GEAR.  THE PILOT, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AND SOLE OCCUPANT, WAS UNINJURED AND THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT SUSTAIN SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.  THE PROPELLER EXHIBITED TIP CURL DAMAGE THAT INDICATED A LOW POWER SETTING AT THE TIME OF IMPACT.  THERE WAS NO POST CRASH FIRE, NO WITNESSES TO THE INCIDENT AND THE RUNWAY SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE DUE TO THE PROPELLER STRIKES.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS BEING OPERATED AS A PERSONAL FLIGHT UNDER THE PROVISION OF 14 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATION PART 91.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AND A FLIGHT PLAN WAS NOT FILED.

THE PILOT DEPARTED HFY AND PERFORMED TWO TOUCH AND GOES.  AS HE WAS COMING AROUND FOR ANOTHER LANDING, HE REDUCED POWER AND SELECTED THE LANDING GEAR DOWN.  HIS INSTRUMENTS DID NOT SHOW A GEAR DOWN AND LOCKED LIGHT INDICATION SO HE CYCLED THE SWITCH AND RESET ALL THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM.  HE PULLED THE EMERGENCY RELEASE HANDLE AND MANUALLY DEPLOYED THE LANDING GEAR.  AS FAR AS HE COULD TELL, THE LANDING GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED, HOWEVER HE STILL HAD NO LIGHT INDICATION.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
