NTSB Identification: WPR12CA415
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Saturday, September 08, 2012 in Elko, NV
Aircraft: BEECH V35B, registration: N1129T
Injuries: 4 Uninjured.
The
pilot, who had just retracted the landing gear on the low wing airplane
as part of the takeoff sequence, was advised by one of his passengers
that fuel was streaming out from under one of the fuel tank caps. After
confirming that there was fuel streaming from under the cap, the pilot,
since he had enough runway remaining to do so, decided to abort the
takeoff and land straight ahead. Although he was able to get the
airplane back on the ground within the remaining runway, the pilot
forgot to extend the landing gear prior to making contact with the
runway surface, which resulted in substantial damage to one of the
airplane’s bulkheads. The pilot later stated that he had not made sure
the fuel caps were secure prior to takeoff, and that he should have done
a final walk-around to make sure everything was in order.
