NTSB narrative

AFTER TOUCHDOWN DURING THE LANDING ROLL, THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR BRAKE LOCKED UP AND THE AIRPLANE VEERED OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AFTER IT CONTACTED SOFT SAND ADJACENT TO THE RUNWAY. EXAMINATION OF THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT BY AN FAA AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTOR REVEALED THAT THE RIGHT BRAKE ASSEMBLY WAS BINDING. THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY WAS REMOVED FROM THE AIRPLANE AND EXAMINATION REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF PREIMPACT FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION. NO DETERMINATION COULD BE MADE AS TO THE REASON FOR THE RIGHT BRAKE TO LOCK UP DURING THE LANDING ROLL.

Probable cause

LOCKING OF THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR BRAKE FOR UNDETERMINED REASONS.

  • Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
  • Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
  • The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
  • API snapshot SHA-256: 5d83200b6a7a0adab8808ccb1d209efe657296af6161da0f615b2f18087d1e51; retrieved 2026-09-23T01:17:39.265Z.
