Narrative:

Flight purpose was to orient the pilot who purchased the aircraft. We approached the airport in a left downwind for runway 12. Past the numbers, I explained to PNF the need to raise the nose, to reduce airspeed, and to lower the gear. Lowered the gear down -- green light verified. Turned base. Turned final, adjusted power to correct glide per VASI indication. When landing was assured, put flaps down. Landing seemed normal for a moment, and then I noticed the propeller was bent. That was the first indication of a problem. I thought just the nose gear had collapsed. After shutting everything off, I deplaned and saw that the aircraft was resting on its belly. A contributing factor may have been a short in all system when the gear was raised on departure. Everything went dead. I checked the circuit breakers -- all breakers were ok. Shut everything off and turned each item on one at a time. Everything came back on except back lights on the panel and the compass light.

Title: BE35 LNDG GEAR COLLAPSE ON LNDG.

Narrative: FLT PURPOSE WAS TO ORIENT THE PLT WHO PURCHASED THE ACFT. WE APCHED THE ARPT IN A L DOWNWIND FOR RWY 12. PAST THE NUMBERS, I EXPLAINED TO PNF THE NEED TO RAISE THE NOSE, TO REDUCE AIRSPD, AND TO LOWER THE GEAR. LOWERED THE GEAR DOWN -- GREEN LIGHT VERIFIED. TURNED BASE. TURNED FINAL, ADJUSTED PWR TO CORRECT GLIDE PER VASI INDICATION. WHEN LNDG WAS ASSURED, PUT FLAPS DOWN. LNDG SEEMED NORMAL FOR A MOMENT, AND THEN I NOTICED THE PROP WAS BENT. THAT WAS THE FIRST INDICATION OF A PROB. I THOUGHT JUST THE NOSE GEAR HAD COLLAPSED. AFTER SHUTTING EVERYTHING OFF, I DEPLANED AND SAW THAT THE ACFT WAS RESTING ON ITS BELLY. A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR MAY HAVE BEEN A SHORT IN ALL SYS WHEN THE GEAR WAS RAISED ON DEP. EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. I CHKED THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS -- ALL BREAKERS WERE OK. SHUT EVERYTHING OFF AND TURNED EACH ITEM ON ONE AT A TIME. EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON EXCEPT BACK LIGHTS ON THE PANEL AND THE COMPASS LIGHT.
