Aircraft involved
Probable cause & findings
THE FAILURE OF THE PILOT TO INITIATE A GO-AROUND DUE TO BEING HIGH ON FINAL APPROACH AND AS A RESULT, FAILURE TO ATTAIN THE CORRECT POINT OF TOUCHDOWN AND HIS EXCESSIVE APPLICATION OF BRAKES WHICH RESULTED IN FAILURE OF THE RIGHT MAIN TIRE AND LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL.
Factual narrative
THE PLT INITIATED A GO-AROUND DURING THE FIRST LANDING APCH DUE TO BEING HIGH ON FINAL. THE PLT REENTERED THE PATTERN TO LAND & DURING THE SECOND LANDING APCH, HE TURNED CLOSE BASE TO AVOID RAINSHOWERS THAT WERE ON THE APCH PATH TO THE RWY. THE ACFT WAS AGAIN HIGH ON FINAL & TOUCHED DOWN MORE THAN 1/2 WAY DOWN THE RWY. DURING BRAKE APPLICATION, THE RT MAIN GEAR TIRE BLEW & THE ACFT THEN YAWED TO THE RT. IT THEN TRAVELLED OFF THE RWY & AS A RESULT, THE LT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED. THE ACFT CAME TO REST ABOUT 20 FEET OFF THE RWY. POST ACCIDENT EXAM OF THE RT BRAKE ASSY REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF PRE-EXISTING FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
