## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON 11/5/96, A MITSUBISHI MU-2B, N54US, REGISTERED TO GREAT PLANES SALES, INC., OF TULSA, OK OPERATED BY INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AIRCRAFT, INC., OF TULSA, OK AND FLOWN BY KEITH SCOSKIE, EXPERIENCED A BRAKE FIRE AFTER LANDING AT ADAMS FIELD, LITTLE ROCK, AR. THE AIRCRAFT WAS ON A FAR 135 CARGO FLIGHT FROM DFW. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, HE MADE AN ILS APPROACH TO RUNWAY 22L AND THEN CIRCLED TO RUNWAY 18 AND TOUCHED DOWN JUST BEYOND THE RUNWAY "NUMBERS". HE SAID THERE WAS NO BETA LIGHT ON THE LEFT ENGINE. HE USED RIGHT ENGINE REVERSE AND HEAVY LEFT BRAKING TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT. HE DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM UNTIL FBO GROUND PERSONNEL, WHO MET THE AIRCRAFT, EMPTIED A PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON HIS LEFT BRAKE. THE FIRE WOULD GO OUT, THEN IGNITE. AIRPORT EMERGENCY PERSONNEL WAS CALLED AND FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED. DAMAGE WAS CONFINED TO THE TIRE, WHEEL, AND BRAKE. THE ONLY PASSENGER WAS A COMPANY EMPLOYEE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

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.
