## Narrative

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

ON FINAL APPROACH WITH A STABILIZED LANDING PIC VERIFIED GEAR DOWN AND LOCKED BY PUSHING J-BAR HANDLE UP INTO LOCK. LANDED ON MAINS NORMALLY BUT ON ROLLOUT WHEN THE NOSE GEAR TOUCHED DOWN THE NOSED GEAR COLLAPSED AS WELL AS BOTH MAIN GEAR THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED TO THE RUNWAY AND SKIDDED ON THE BELLY AND PROPELLER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE RUNWAY JUST OF CENTER LINE.

DURING INTERVIEW THE PIC COULD NOT CONFIRM IF THE GREEN GEAR DOWN AND LOCKED LIGHT WAS ON PRIOR TO LANDING. PIC ALSO STATED THAT SHE HAD NO CONFIDENCE IN THE GREEN LIGHT AND THAT THE RED LIGHT DOESN'T WORK. WITH AIRPLANE ON JACK AND GEAR UP FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWED THAT THE J-BAR DOWN-LOCK BLOCK IS SEVERLY WORN AND WOULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE LOCK AND RIG LANDING GEAR DURING MAINTENANCE
