Incident Overview
During the landing roll, the pilot deployed the thrust reversers on both engines. The translating cowl of the number two engine separated from the engine, and the parts fell to the runway. The separation occurred while the aircraft was still on the runway.
Examination Findings
Examination of the translating cowl components revealed that a joint had been improperly bonded during a repair. This joint separated during the deployment of the reverser unit, and consequently the translating cowl assembly failed.
Secondary Impact
A different aircraft, a Business Express Beech 100 bearing registration N7203C, was landing when it struck the debris left on the runway. The Beech 100 sustained minor damage from the impact.
