What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) During a flight from opa locka, FL to cincinnati, OH, while in the vicinity of Vero Beach, FL, the flight crew of N41527, a CV-440 operated by miami air lease, noticed oil pressure and oil temperature problems with the right engine, followed by significant engine vibration. The crew elected to shut down and feather the right engine, and planned an emergency landing at Vero Beach Municipal Airport. While approaching the left downwind for runway 11 at vrb, the aircraft's electrical system failed. The crew performed an emergency extension of the landing gear, but upon touchdown, experienced no hydraulic braking or steering. Emergency braking using the aircraft's air system was accomplished. The aircraft departed the right side of the runway approximately 500 feet from the end of runway 11, and came to rest adjacent to the end of the runway approximately 100 feet from the right side of the runway. The right main brake caught fire due to heat caused by heavy braking. The crew exited the aircraft and attempted to extinguish the fire using hand held fire extinguishers. This attempt was unsuccessful, and the fire was finally extinguished by the vrb airport fire department. The flightcrew was not injured, and the aircraft sustained minor fire damage. A post incident investigation revealed that the crew failed to "unload" the electrical system following the shut down of the right engine, subsequently causing overload and failure of the main current limiter. Additionally, the crew apparently failed to place the hydraulic by-pass valve in the "down" (not by-passed) position, thus preventing the landing gear from extending normally. The cause of subsequent failures of the hydraulic steering the braking system were not positively determined. However, failure of the flight crew to follow appropriate emergency check list procedures following shut down of the right engine resulted in significant complications during the emergency landing, and subsequent damage to the aircraft. privacy data omitted Additionally, inspection of N41527 revealed several potential airworthiness issues associated with the aircraft. Further investigation by the principal airworthiness inspector assigned to miami air lease is recommended.
As the FAA filed it
(-23) DURING A FLIGHT FROM OPA LOCKA, FL TO CINCINNATI, OH, WHILE IN THE VICINITY OF VERO BEACH, FL, THE FLIGHT CREW OF N41527, A CV-440 OPERATED BY MIAMI AIR LEASE, NOTICED OIL PRESSURE AND OIL TEMPERATURE PROBLEMS WITH THE RIGHT ENGINE, FOLLOWED BY SIGNIFICANT ENGINE VIBRATION. THE CREW ELECTED TO SHUT DOWN AND FEATHER THE RIGHT ENGINE, AND PLANNED AN EMERGENCY LANDING AT VERO BEACH MUNICIPAL AIRPORT. WHILE APPROACHING THE LEFT DOWNWIND FOR RUNWAY 11 AT VRB, THE AIRCRAFT'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED. THE CREW PERFORMED AN EMERGENCY EXTENSION OF THE LANDING GEAR, BUT UPON TOUCHDOWN, EXPERIENCED NO HYDRAULIC BRAKING OR STEERING. EMERGENCY BRAKING USING THE AIRCRAFT'S AIR SYSTEM WAS ACCOMPLISHED. THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET FROM THE END OF RUNWAY 11, AND CAME TO REST ADJACENT TO THE END OF THE RUNWAY APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE RIGHT MAIN BRAKE CAUGHT FIRE DUE TO HEAT CAUSED BY HEAVY BRAKING. THE CREW EXITED THE AIRCRAFT AND ATTEMPTED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE USING HAND HELD FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. THIS ATTEMPT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, AND THE FIRE WAS FINALLY EXTINGUISHED BY THE VRB AIRPORT FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE FLIGHTCREW WAS NOT INJURED, AND THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR FIRE DAMAGE. A POST INCIDENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE CREW FAILED TO "UNLOAD" THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FOLLOWING THE SHUT DOWN OF THE RIGHT ENGINE, SUBSEQUENTLY CAUSING OVERLOAD AND FAILURE OF THE MAIN CURRENT LIMITER. ADDITIONALLY, THE CREW APPARENTLY FAILED TO PLACE THE HYDRAULIC BY-PASS VALVE IN THE "DOWN" (NOT BY-PASSED) POSITION, THUS PREVENTING THE LANDING GEAR FROM EXTENDING NORMALLY. THE CAUSE OF SUBSEQUENT FAILURES OF THE HYDRAULIC STEERING THE BRAKING SYSTEM WERE NOT POSITIVELY DETERMINED. HOWEVER, FAILURE OF THE FLIGHT CREW TO FOLLOW APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY CHECK LIST PROCEDURES FOLLOWING SHUT DOWN OF THE RIGHT ENGINE RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT COMPLICATIONS DURING THE EMERGENCY LANDING, AND SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ ADDITIONALLY, INSPECTION OF N41527 REVEALED SEVERAL POTENTIAL AIRWORTHINESS ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIRCRAFT. FURTHER INVESTIGATION BY THE PRINCIPAL AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTOR ASSIGNED TO MIAMI AIR LEASE IS RECOMMENDED.
