N2991D

On July 18, 2009, a Bellanca 8KCAB (N2991D) was involved in an incident near Waring, TX. All 1 person aboard were uninjured. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.

The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this incident to be: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing roll-out. Contributing to the accident was the worn left main landing gear brake.

While landing his single-engine airplane on a 2,331-foot-long and 28-foot-wide asphalt runway, the pilot applied the brakes to avoid going down the sloped portion of the runway. After he applied the brakes, the aircraft swerved right and hit a "t" post fence and flipped inverted. Examination of the airplane revealed that the right-hand lift strut was broken and the left brake was worn. When the left brake was tested, it failed to provide adequate braking action. The right brake functioned normally. The airplane's last annual inspection was conducted on July 11, 2008.

This incident is documented in NTSB report CEN09CA450. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N2991D.
