Dillingham Airfield Airport
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Mokuleia, Hawaii 96791
Thursday, November 7, 2013 13:20 HST

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot reported that, during the landing after a glider tow operation, the airplane came to an abrupt stop and nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the rudder, both wings, and lift struts. A postaccident examination of the airplane at the accident site revealed that the right brake was locked up and that the tire would not rotate normally. During a followup examination, the right brake was disassembled, and no anomalies were found. After reassembly, the brake operated normally.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

A landing gear brake malfunction during the landing for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
