## Narrative

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

ON MAY 13, 2023, A K35 BONANZA AIRCRAFT DEPARTED FROM VISALIA MUNICIPLE AIRPORT (VIS) WITH A DESTINATION OF WOODLAKE AIRPORT (O42). THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE EXECUTED A NORMAL LANDING AT O42 AND BEGAN SLOWING THE AIRCRAFT DOWN. WHILE SLOWING DOWN, THE FRONT LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED FOLLOWED BY THE COLLAPSE OF THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR. CONSEQUENTLY, THE AIRCRAFT SLID ON THE NOSE AND RIGHT WING FOR APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET BEFORE COMING TO A STOP ON THE RUNWAY. THE LEFT LANDING GEAR REMAINED FULLY EXTENDED AND LOCKED THROUGHOUT THE INCIDENT.  BOTH THE PILOT AND THE PASSENGER ON BOARD WERE UNINJURED. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE.

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.
