N53546 – BOEING E75N1 – 2014-07-17 NTSB Accident Report

On July 17, 2014, a Boeing E75N1 (N53546) was involved in an incident near Penridge, PA. 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 delayed action in correcting a drift to the right during landing roll and his improper use of the wheel brakes which resulted in the airplane nosing over.

According to the pilot, this was the fifth landing in the tailwheel equipped airplane that morning, with the other four landings being at a nearby airport. During the approach with a right quartering headwind, he maintained a normal approach speed and landed the airplane utilizing a 3-point landing technique. During the landing rollout, the airplane began to drift to the right and he applied left rudder to correct. As the airplane approached the edge of the paved surface he applied brake pressure. Subsequently, the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted which resulted in substantial damage to the rudder. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions or abnormalities that would have precluded normal operation.

This incident is documented in NTSB report ERA14CA395. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N53546.
