On November 27, 2017, about 1205 mountain standard time, a Columbia LC41 550FG, N2526C, experienced a brake fire after an aborted takeoff at La Cholla Airpark (57AZ), Tucson, Arizona. The pilot and the pilot-rated passenger were not injured; the airplane sustained structural damage to the fuselage. The airplane was registered to and operated by the pilot under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed.
In a telephone conversation with the National Transportation Safety Board investigator-in-charge, the pilot reported that the engine surged during takeoff roll and he aborted the takeoff. He waited for the engine to run smoothly, then attempted another takeoff, but the engine surged again. He aborted the takeoff a second time and, during the aborted takeoff roll, the brakes caught fire. The fire damaged the brake hydraulic lines and the airplane subsequently rolled off the runway.
