## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: ON JANUARY 21, 1994 AT 14:45 A WESTWIND 1124, N124WK, S/N 291, WHICH IS OWNED AND OPERATED BY BOURKE SHUTTLE, INC. DEPARTED DULLES INT'L AIRPORT ENROUTE FOR WHITE PLAINS, NY DIVERTED TO PHILADELPHIA INT'L AIRPORT, INFORMING THE PHL TOWER THAT HE WANTED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY LANDING. LISTED BELOW ARE THE EVENTS WHICH FORCED THE FLIGHTCREW TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY LANDING: THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED DULLES INT'L AIRPORT ON RUNWAY 30. THE RUNWAY WAS COVERED WITH PATCHES OF ICE, BUT THERE WAS NO CONTROLLABILITY PROBLEMS DURING TAKE-OFF ROLL. THE DCA TOWER ADVISED THE CREW THAT A GROUND OBSERVER REPORTED THAT A TIRE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE AIRCRAFT. AFTER CLIMBING TO LEVELED FLIGHT, THE PILOT EXTENDED THE LANDING GEAR FOR INSPECTION. THE PILOT FOUND THE RIGHT WHEEL AND TIRE MISSING. THE AXLE, NUT, COTTER PIN AND BRAKES DID NOT SEPARATE FROM THE AIRCRAFT. THE CREW TRIED TO LAND AT STEWART AIRPORT, NY AND WILMINGTON AIRPORT, DE BUT BOTH AIRPORTS HAD HEAVY ICE ON THEIR RUNWAYS. SINCE PHILADELPHIA INT'L HAD TWO CLEARED RUNWAYS, THEY ELECTED TO LAND THERE. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON RUNWAY 27 LEFT. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ON THE LEFT SIDE ON THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT PUT THE AIRCRA FT DOWN ON THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR THEN EASED IT DOWN ONTO THE RIGHT BRAKE AND STRUT. BRAKING AND CONTROLLABILITY WERE GOOD. AFTER SLIDING ABOUT 3,000 FEET, THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST LEFT OF THE CENTER LINE. THE TWO FLIGHT CREW MEMBERS AND THE TWO PASSENGERS SUFFERED NO INJURIES. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT AXLE, NUT, WASHER, BEARING AND ANTI-SKID SPEED DETECTOR. ALL HAD TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED. THE RIGHT MAIN WHEEL ASSEMBLY P/N 5002805-3 HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO. THE RIGHT BRAKE ASSEMBLY P/N 5002805-3 MUST BE REMOVED AND REPLACED BECAUSE IT HAD 2 INCHES OF IT'S MASS SHAVED AWAY DURING THE EMERGENCY LANDING. THERE WAS SOME SLIGHT SKIN DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FLAP. THE AIRPORT AND WEATHER WERE NOT A FACTOR IN THIS MATTER. ATLANTIC AVIATION OF NEW CASTLE, DE WILL SUBMIT A MALFUNCTION AND DEFECT REPORT WHICH WILL HELP SUPPORT THE FINDINGS. THE PHILADELPHIA FSDO WILL EXPAND ON THE MALFUNCTION AND DEFECT REPORT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
