ON MARCH 24, 2019, ABOUT 15:30 EASTERN STANDARD TIME (EST), CESSNA T310R, N358MN, WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED DURING THE LANDING ROLL AT NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA AIRPORT, PHILADELPHIA, PA (PNE).  THE COMMERCIAL PILOT AND TWO CREW MEMBERS WERE NOT INJURED.  THE AIR CRAFT WAS RETURNING FROM A GEO SURVEY PHOTOGRAPHY MISSION AND OPERATED UNDER PART 91 IN DAY METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS.
