Accidents and incidents[edit]
- On September 22, 2001, a Piper PA-22 was damaged during a precautionary landing at the Harding County Airport. The plane was being ferried from the Huntington Municipal Airport in Indiana to the Valley Point Airport in West Virginia when it diverted to Harding for weather. The plane touched down normally, but the pilot applied the handbrake while decelerating, causing the airplane to pull from side to side. For fear of overrunning the runway, the pilot decided to force the airplane to a grassy area to the right of the runway, where the nose wheel struck a culvert. The nose wheel collapsed and the airplane nosed over. The pilot reported that the brakes were functioning but seemed to be activating from side to side; a mechanic reported that, while the airplane was in a hangar waiting transportation, he applied the handbrake and then tried to push the airplane, which did not move. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot's failure to stop the airplane within the available runway. Factors included the uneven braking and the pilot's lack of experience in airplane make and model.[4][5]
