## Narrative

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

ON 12/21/2024 AT 2100Z/1400 LOCAL HOURS, A PILOT FLYING A PIPER PA-24 COMANCHE WAS MAKING A LANDING TO THE BOLINDER FIELD/TOOELE VALLEY AIRPORT (TVY) RWY35. THE PILOT HAD THREE PASSENGERS ONBOARD AND WAS FLYING A PART 91 PERSONAL FLIGHT.  THE PILOT WAS THE ONLY RATED PILOT ONBOARD AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE. THE PILOT STATED THAT RIGHT AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRCRAFT'S MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED WHILE PERFORMING A ROLLOUT ON RWY35. THE AIRCRAFT IMMEDIATELY FELL WITH THE AIRCRAFT FUSELAGE STRIKING THE RUNWAY AND SKIDDING. THE PILOT INITIATED AN EMERGENCY EVACUATION OF ALL PASSENGERS AND CALLED 911 FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES.

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.
