The pilot reported that almost immediately, the airplane turned to the left. The pilot attempted full right rudder and moderate braking, but he could not arrest the turn. The airplane went onto the grass perpendicular to the runway and down a drainage embankment, resulting in substantial damage to the forward fuselage. The pilot suspected a problem with the left brake. Examination of the brake system did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operations. At the time of the accident, the pilot landed the airplane on runway 18 with wind from 190° at 20 knots with gusts to 29 knots. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N3735B](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N3735B), registered now, S/N D-10403, built 1982 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: BEECH V35B - Registry model: [Beech V35B](https://openairdocs.org/model/beech-v35b) (registry code 1151548) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Continental IO-520 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-io-520-series) (registry code 17032, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: D-10403 - Year built: 1982 - Airframe hours: 3041 - Engines: Continental IO-550B 300 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Operator: Burris Mike - Registered owner: Burris Mike - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, November 1, 2021 - Departed: VCT, Victoria, TX - Destination: Same as departure - Flight plan: VFR - Airport: TKI, McKinney, runway 18, 7,002 × 150 ft, concrete - Equipment: Auto-pilot, ADS-B, Stall warning system, Satellite tracking device, Electronic primary flight display, Electronic multifunction display, Electronic flight bag or handheld device ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.

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. --- OpenAirDocs.org is an independent research project of [Contrail Labs](https://contraillabs.com/). It is not affiliated with the FAA or the NTSB.
