On October 24, 1987, a Cessna 402B (registration N3798C) operated by Eagle Aviation Inc was involved in an aviation accident near Avalon, CA. This summary draws on records from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) historical archive.
During landing, a pilot heard a loud bang, the aircraft veered right. Despite corrections, it skidded off the runway and collided with a berm. Inspection revealed a blown right main landing gear tire.
Incident Description
During the landing roll, the pilot reported hearing a loud bang. Immediately afterward, the aircraft deviated to the right. The pilot applied left brake pressure to correct the trajectory, which brought the aircraft back to the runway centerline. However, the aircraft then began to skid. Recognizing that the remaining runway length was insufficient, the pilot applied full right rudder and intentionally guided the aircraft off the paved surface. The aircraft subsequently struck a berm, causing further damage.
Post-Inspection Findings
A thorough inspection of the aircraft revealed that the right main landing gear tire had blown out. No other mechanical malfunctions or failures were detected.
