The incorrect wiring caused the antiskid system not to function as intended, resulting in the failure of the left outboard tire and a significant loss of the airplane\u2019s braking ability, which led to the runway overrun. Contributing to the accident were (1) Saab\u2019s design of the wheel speed transducer wire harnesses, which did not consider and protect against human error during maintenance; (2) the Federal Aviation Administration\u2019s lack of consideration of the runway safety area dimensions at Unalaska Airport during the authorization process that allowed the Saab 2000 to operate at the airport; and (3) the flight crewmembers\u2019 inappropriate decision, due to their plan continuation bias, to land on a runway with a reported tailwind that exceeded the airplane manufacturer\u2019s limit. The safety margin was further reduced because of PenAir\u2019s failure to correctly apply its company-designated pilot-in\u0002-command airport qualification policy, which allowed the accident captain to operate at one of the most challenging airports in PenAir\u2019s route system with limited experience at the airport and in the Saab 2000 airplane.","registration":"N686PA","state":"AK","summary":"Accident on October 18, 2019 at Unalaska, AK: fatal, substantial damage (1 fatal).","type":"ACC"}],"num_engines":4,"other_names":"","plain_english":"N686PA is an EAVision J-150, a rotorcraft powered by electric motors (a helicopter or multicopter).
