NTSB narrative

The pilot flying stated that he had recently completed simulator training in the airplane type and that the accident flight was his first flight in an actual airplane of that type. The pilot-in-command had the pilot flying sit in the left seat for the flight and allowed him to perform the approach and landing. During preflight and while airborne, the pilots discussed braking procedures and techniques, which included the need to apply braking evenly and firmly. During landing, the pilot applied brakes, and, a few seconds later, the airplane began swerving left and right. The airplane exited the runway and stopped. The airplane was equipped with a flight data recorder, and no anomalies were noted in the data that would have contributed to the accident. The accident likely occurred as a result of the pilot's improper brake application, which resulted in the loss of directional control.

Probable cause

The pilot’s improper brake application during landing, which resulted in a loss of directional control.

  • 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: local date, investigation status. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
  • The date is the local date; the NTSB stores the UTC date 2013-10-16.
