The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On June 5, 2022, about 17:50 central daylight time, a 1961 Beech 35-A33, registration number privacy data omitted, serial number CD-296, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at the Mesquite Metro Airport-hqz located in Texas. The pilot and two passengers / family members were not injured. The airplane was operated a title 14 CFR part 91 personnel flight. The pilot reported the airplane made a normal landing. After roll out, while taxiing the nose gear collapsed followed by both mains. The airplane skidded for approx. 100FT before coming to rest on runway 18. The propeller struck the runway multiple times during the nose gear collapsing into the wheel well. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the propeller, and damage to the airplane’s belly, each inner main gear doors and nose gear door. The pilot report that there were no pre-accident mechanical malfunctions or failure with the airplane that would have preclude normal operations. Meteorological conditions at hqz were @ 17:50CDT, vmc-day, temp 80.f’/dew point 64.f’, wind 12 / 20 KTS @ 90’ and visibility 10 miles. The airplanes wreckage was recovered to a secured location. During this investigation, the hqz air traffic controller reported that all traffic was on south flow, landing on runway 18. Aircraft N9475Y landed long. The aircraft was at a slow stop and turning right on taxiway echo when ATC observed the nose gear collapse followed by the left main. The aircraft was leaning when the right gear fell, too. During the landing sequence (from approach to flair) the aircraft’s gear was down and ATC witnessed the aircraft on the runway on the gear.
