| NTSB Identification: ERA09LA130 14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation Accident occurred Sunday, January 04, 2009 in Wilmington, NC Aircraft: CESSNA 550, registration: N815MA Injuries: 7 Uninjured. This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed. On January 4, 2009, about 0200 eastern standard time, a Cessna 550, N815MA, was substantially damaged when it impacted the runway during a forced landing, with the landing gear retracted, at the Wilmington International Airport (KILM), Wilmington, North Carolina. The airplane departed the La Isabela Airport (MDJB), Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic, on January 3, 2009, about 2300. The certificated airline transport pilot captain, certificated commercial pilot first officer, and five passengers received no injuries. The personal flight was operated under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and an instrument flight rule (IFR) flight plan was filed for the international flight. The airplane was examined by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector who responded to the accident site. The airplane received skin damage to the underside of the fuselage and several puncture holes into the pressure vessel. The pilot reported to the FAA inspector on scene, as well as to a National Transportation Safety Board investigator, that they had "ran out of fuel." They had attempted three instrument landing system (ILS) approaches to runway 24, however due to the fog at the airport they were unable to see the runway environment. On the third missed approach the No. 1 engine shut down and the pilots requested a vector from air traffic control (ATC) for another approach to KILM. The pilot stated to ATC that they were low on fuel. While being vectored for the fourth approach, the No. 2 engine shut down and the pilots requested an immediate turn to the airport; they were able to locate the center of the airport on their global positioning system (GPS) and "aimed the airplane at the intersection of the runways." Approximately 50 feet above ground level (agl), the pilots saw a row of lights, paralleled the lights, landed gear up on the departure end of runway 6, overran the runway, and impacted several light stands for runway 24, coming to rest 2,242 feet past the point of the initial touchdown. The accident airplane was manufactured in 1982 and issued an airworthiness certificate on May 20, 1982. The airplane was equipped with two Pratt and Whitney JT15D-4 Series turbofan engines. The 0153 weather observation at KILM, reported winds from 020 degrees at 3 knots, a broken cloud layer at 100 feet agl, an overcast cloud layer at 500 feet agl, 1/2 mile visibility, temperature 11 degrees Celsius (C), dew point 10 degrees C, and an altimeter setting of 30.14 inches of mercury. The airplane has been retained by the National Transportation Safety Board for further examination. | |
