What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During a training flight at keau around 12PM on March 26", 2023, the pilot was completing a no-flaps approach on runway 04 in a 1983 Cessna 441 conquest privacy data omitted. The pilot stated he landed the conquest on speed and in the touch-down zone appropriate with the no-flap performance requirements. The pilot states that at around 80KTS during his landing roll he began to apply reverse thrust. Shortly after reverse thrust was applied in both engines, he felt a shimmy in the left wheel through the rudder pedal. The airplane began drifting left of centerline and he was compensating with right pedal braking action. Shortly
After he felt the left-wing fall which he initially believed to have been the tire going flat. The aircraft pulled hard to the left and he applied full right braking action as well as continued full reverse thrust to compensate. He stated the aircraft was now very left of centerline, and it was increasingly difficult to correct to the right with braking and thrust. It departed the runway and the left engine prop shattered a runway edge light and before coming
To a stop the right prop contacted the next runway edge light. Upon coming toa rest, the aircraft engines were secured via the emergency shut-down procedure using the condition levers and they observed no fire or smoke from the cockpit or the engines.
As the FAA filed it
DURING A TRAINING FLIGHT AT KEAU AROUND 12PM ON MARCH 26", 2023, THE PILOT WAS COMPLETING A NO-FLAPS APPROACH ON RUNWAY 04 IN A 1983 CESSNA 441 CONQUEST ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^. THE PILOT STATED HE LANDED THE CONQUEST ON SPEED AND IN THE TOUCH-DOWN ZONE APPROPRIATE WITH THE NO-FLAP PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS. THE PILOT STATES THAT AT AROUND 80KTS DURING HIS LANDING ROLL HE BEGAN TO APPLY REVERSE THRUST. SHORTLY AFTER REVERSE THRUST WAS APPLIED IN BOTH ENGINES, HE FELT A SHIMMY IN THE LEFT WHEEL THROUGH THE RUDDER PEDAL. THE AIRPLANE BEGAN DRIFTING LEFT OF CENTERLINE AND HE WAS COMPENSATING WITH RIGHT PEDAL BRAKING ACTION. SHORTLY
AFTER HE FELT THE LEFT-WING FALL WHICH HE INITIALLY BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN THE TIRE GOING FLAT. THE AIRCRAFT PULLED HARD TO THE LEFT AND HE APPLIED FULL RIGHT BRAKING ACTION AS WELL AS CONTINUED FULL REVERSE THRUST TO COMPENSATE. HE STATED THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOW VERY LEFT OF CENTERLINE, AND IT WAS INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO CORRECT TO THE RIGHT WITH BRAKING AND THRUST. IT DEPARTED THE RUNWAY AND THE LEFT ENGINE PROP SHATTERED A RUNWAY EDGE LIGHT AND BEFORE COMING
TO A STOP THE RIGHT PROP CONTACTED THE NEXT RUNWAY EDGE LIGHT. UPON COMING TOA REST, THE AIRCRAFT ENGINES WERE SECURED VIA THE EMERGENCY SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURE USING THE CONDITION LEVERS AND THEY OBSERVED NO FIRE OR SMOKE FROM THE COCKPIT OR THE ENGINES.
