N89EP

On April 23, 2024, at 1113 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna T210 airplane, N89EP, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Placerville, California. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

The pilot reported that during the landing on runway 09, immediately after touchdown, the airplane veered right. He attempted to correct with left rudder input along with left brake application, but the airplane continued to veer to the right. Despite his attempt to maintain directional control, the airplane exited the right side of the runway into the grass covered runway safety area. Subsequently, the airplane continued to veer to the right and impacted an unoccupied airplane and a hangar. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and fuselage.

Following the accident, the pilot examined the right brake caliper assembly and found it secured. The right wheel assembly was unable to be moved on the axle.

The airplane was relocated to a secure location for further examination.
