Incident Overview
During a landing at an airport, a Beech 200 King Air (registration N210PH) veered left shortly after touchdown, causing its left main landing gear tires to depart the runway surface and enter the grass. The pilot, unable to correct the deviation using right braking and maximum reverse thrust, subsequently collided with a Cessna 177 (registration N34639) that was holding on a runway edge holding pad approximately at the midpoint of the runway.
Aircraft Details
The Beech 200 King Air has a main landing gear width of 17 feet 2 inches. The runway width is 36 feet. The Cessna 177 was stationary on the runway edge holding pad at the time of the collision.
Pilot Experience
According to the pilot of the Beech 200, this was his first time landing that aircraft at the airport; all previous landings at that location had been conducted in Cessna 400 series airplanes. Prior to the landing, the pilots of both aircraft were in radio contact, and the Beech 200 pilot stated that there would be adequate clearance between the two airplanes.
Collision Sequence
After the Beech 200 touched down, it began to drift left. The left main landing gear tires left the runway surface and moved onto the adjacent grass. The pilot applied right braking and maximum reverse thrust in an attempt to bring the tires back onto the runway, but these efforts were unsuccessful. The aircraft continued to the left and contacted the Cessna 177, which was holding on the runway edge holding pad located near the runway's midpoint.
The accident resulted in damage to both aircraft. The source does not specify injuries, weather conditions, or time of day.
