What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On February 11, 2019, at approximately 10:10 eastern standard time (1510 zulu), Beechcraft be 400A, N750TA landed and slid off the departure end of runway 24 at the Richmond municipal airport (rid), Richmond, Indiana. At the time of the accident, the captain was flying the aircraft from the left seat. The two pilots and one passenger sustained no injuries in the accident. The aircraft had substantial damage to the fuselage nose area, the nose landing gear, both wing leading edges, right engine nacelle and the fuselage skin from impact with the ILS antennas and mounting structure. The unplowed runway was contaminated with one and one half inches of wet snow at the time of the accident. The aircraft is registered to premier Beechcraft, LLC and was operating under the provisions of 14 code of federal regulations part 91 as a business flight. The rid AWOS indicated the 1505 zulu weather conditions were 300 foot scattered, 1500 foot ceiling, visibility ¾ nautical mile, and wind 090 degrees at 4 knots. A NOTAM was issued at approximately 1353 zulu indicating 2 inches of wet snow was observed on runway 24. The flight was operating on an IFR flight plan.
Runway 24 has a landing distance of 5502 feet. The main landing gear tire tracks began on the snow-covered runway at approximately 2800 feet from the approach end of runway 24. The aircraft rolled off the departure end of the runway and continued on an extended centerline course for approximately 300 feet before veering to the left on a ground track course of 228 degrees. The aircraft crossed state road 127 before coming to rest approximately 770 feet from the end of the runway on an approximate heading of 230 degrees. The aircraft struck the ILS mounting structure and antenna array located approximately 300 feet from the departure end of the runway. Marks on the ground indicated the nose gear collapsed approximately 30 feet after colliding with the ILS mounting structure. Ground markings indicated the nose of the aircraft lost contact with the ground multiple times at roughly 25-foot intervals for about 250 feet before remaining on the ground. Markings in the grass show signs that both main wheels could have been braking at different intervals contsistent with anti-skid braking.
