ON NOVEMBER 3, 2022, A 2015 ECLIPSE AEROSPACE EA500, WAS UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN AFTER LANDING AND VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY INTO A RETENTION AREA. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. THE TWO CREW MEMBERS WERE NOT INJURED. THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM HENDERSON FIELD (HND). THE AIRCRAFT WAS BEING REPOSITIONED AFTER A MAINTENANCE INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED. THE PIC STATED IT WAS RAINING, SO TAXI OUT WAS SLOWER THAN NORMAL, BUT THE BRAKES APPEARED TO BE WORKING. THE PIC STATED IT WAS AN UNEVENTFUL FLIGHT AND WITH A NORMAL LANDING EVENT. THE ABS WAS “ARMED”, AND VERIFIED PER THE ‘BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST”. AFTER TOUCHING DOWN, THE PIC FELT NO BRAKING ACTION. HIS SIC STATED HE HAD NO BRAKING ACTION AS WELL. THE PIC PRESSED THE “ALL INTERRUPT” SWITCH AND NOTHING CHANGED. THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE LEFT AND DEPARTED TOWARDS THE END OF THE RUNWAY, BOUNCED UP, AND LANDING IN A DITCH. THE NOSE GEAR TWISTED, COLLAPSED, AND THE NOSE TIRE DETACHED FROM THE AIRCRAFT. THE LEFT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE TIRE DETACHED FROM THE AIRCRAFT. THE RIGHT GEAR COLLAPSED WITH THE TIRE STILL INTACT. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF FLAT SPOTS ON ANY TIRE. THE BELLY OF THE FUSELAGE APPEARED HEAVILY DAMAGED. AROUND THE NOSE FUSELAGE AREA, SKIN TORN OFF DUE TO THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDING AFTER THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED. THE FUSELAGE SKIN AREA AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE FORWARD PRESSURE BULKHEAD APPEARED TO BE CRACKED AND BUCKLED. THE BOTTOM FUSELAGE AREA OF THE TAIL SUSTAINED DENTS AND SKIN DAMAGE. THE FLAPS WERE EXTENDED IN A LANDING CONFIGURATION. THE AIRCRAFT WAS MOVED FROM THE RETENTION AREA TO AN AREA AT THE AIRPORT, WHERE IT COULD BE FURTHER EXAMINED. THE AIRCRAFT’S DSU WAS LOADED AND SENT TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR ANALYSIS. ALL INDICATIONS FROM THE DATA WERE NORMAL. THE DATA ALSO SHOWED THE AIRCRAFT’S LANDING SPEED WAS NORMAL AND WITHIN MINIMUMS. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE MANUFACTURER ASSISTED THE NTSB AND FAA AT THE SCENE. THE BRAKES, MASTER CYLINDERS, SENSORS, AND RELATED ABS COMPONENTS WERE EXAMINED WITH NO ABNORMAL INDICATION. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF HEAT DISCOLORATION, OR ABNORMAL FLUID LOSS. A POST-ACCIDENT FUNCTIONAL CHECK OF THE RIGHT BRAKE INDICATED IT WAS OPERATIONAL. THE LEFT BRAKE WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED AND COULD NOT BE FUNCTIONALLY TESTED. THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE RECORDS WERE REVIEWED. NO DEFICIENCIES WERE FOUND. A 24 MONTH/300 HOUR INSPECTION HAD JUST BEEN COMPLETED AT A REPAIR STATION PRIOR TO THE EVENT. ## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1) From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. - [NTSB WPR23LA028](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR23LA028), Nov 4, 2022: Eclipse Aerospace EA500 (N150NE), Mesa, AZ, substantial damage. Probable cause: Maintenance personnel’s failure to properly align the right brake wheel speed transducer, which rendered the right wheel brake ineffective during landing, and the pilot’s subsequent failure to follow… From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.
