What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23)An eyewitness stated that while the aircraft was on base leg, the wind was coming out of the south. With a line of thunderstorms approaching the airfield, the pilot made his turn onto final and with the aircraft nearing touchdown, the wind switched from the south to the north, becoming a tail wind. The witness estimated the wind at 40 knots, and stated that others that witnessed this incident estimated the winds at approx. 50 knots. The witness also stated that the aircraft touched down at 1000 to 1500 ft past the runway 16 threshold. He also stated that the aircraft tail rose with the tailwind, and appeared to take some, but not all, of the weight off the main landing gear. This would limit the amount of applied braking force being transferred to the runway surface. Pilot produced information on the aircraft that shows when the rudder pedals are depressed 16 degrees or more from neutral, only one main wheel brake assembly is enabled. He felt that this was a contributing factor.
As the FAA filed it
(-23)AN EYEWITNESS STATED THAT WHILE THE AIRCRAFT WAS ON BASE LEG, THE WIND WAS COMING OUT OF THE SOUTH. WITH A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS APPROACHING THE AIRFIELD, THE PILOT MADE HIS TURN ONTO FINAL AND WITH THE AIRCRAFT NEARING TOUCHDOWN, THE WIND SWITCHED FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH, BECOMING A TAIL WIND. THE WITNESS ESTIMATED THE WIND AT 40 KNOTS, AND STATED THAT OTHERS THAT WITNESSED THIS INCIDENT ESTIMATED THE WINDS AT APPROX. 50 KNOTS. THE WITNESS ALSO STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN AT 1000 TO 1500 FT PAST THE RUNWAY 16 THRESHOLD. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT TAIL ROSE WITH THE TAILWIND, AND APPEARED TO TAKE SOME, BUT NOT ALL, OF THE WEIGHT OFF THE MAIN LANDING GEAR. THIS WOULD LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF APPLIED BRAKING FORCE BEING TRANSFERRED TO THE RUNWAY SURFACE. PILOT PRODUCED INFORMATION ON THE AIRCRAFT THAT SHOWS WHEN THE RUDDER PEDALS ARE DEPRESSED 16 DEGREES OR MORE FROM NEUTRAL, ONLY ONE MAIN WHEEL BRAKE ASSEMBLY IS ENABLED. HE FELT THAT THIS WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR.
